Although HIV/AIDS was late coming to Asia, there has been a marked increase in the number of infections since 1992. Today, an estimated 7.2 million people in Asia and the Pacific are living with HIV/AIDs. This includes the nearly 1 million who acquired HIV in 2002. Some 490,000 people in Asia are estimated to have died of AIDS in the past year. UNAIDS reports countries with very large populations are experiencing serious epidemics, and conditions are ripe for rapid increase in prevalence: low levels of awareness and prevention programs, migration, and low status of women. CARE's work to prevent the spread of the virus focuses on changing the behavior of groups who are most at risk for HIV/AIDS.

"With 'AIDS', exaggerations and fabrications are the name of the game."

You said it Vivian S! Just like what you and all the other trolls do, regarding falso info you give to people on YA about AIDS. Get an education and stop following the extremists. Oh and quit the trolling! I will report you and the others everytime you troll (which not suprisingly is everytime a HIV/AIDS related question is posted)
