Increasing number of people infected by HIV in Shanghai, China.


 According to the Wenhui Daily newspaper, the number of people infected with HIV in Shanghai, China, is growing rapidly and could surpass 16,000 next year, dramatically up from the current level of 183 confirmed cases. Many Shanghai residents lack basic information about HIV/AIDS and how to protect themselves against becoming infected. For example, more than one-third of people surveyed in the city were unaware that condom use during sexual intercourse reduces the risk of HIV transmission, and 20-50% of people believed that HIV can be spread by swimming, shaking hands, or touching objects handled by HIV-infected individuals. Wenhui Daily cited unspecified health officials as the source of its information. Nationwide, China has reported less than 8000 confirmed cases of HIV infection, although more than 300,000 people are thought to be infected. 1.2 million people are projected to be infected with HIV in China by 2000. The youngest person known to be infected with HIV in Shanghai is a 21-month old infant whose mother transmitted the virus during pregnancy. China's leaders have only recently begun to take steps to check the spread of HIV and to teach the public how to protect itself.
