The Threat of AIDS in China

Paper Summary:

This paper addresses the growing issue of HIV/AIDS infection in China. The paper examines the spread of the disease in the country, as well as typical infection patterns. Government responses to the issue are also discussed, with strong arguments made that the Chinese government has a long history of repressing information about AIDS infections within the country.

From the Paper:

"The first time that a case of AIDS was reported in China, the year was 1985. This is generally consistent with the time frame of when the virus began to appear around the world. Nonetheless, while China was only reporting its first case in the mid-1980s, that was not the case in the rest of the world. By that time, AIDS had taken hold of many groups of people. Despite being a latecomer to the AIDS crisis, the World Health Organization estimated in the mid-1990s that Asia would account for most new cases of AIDS by the year 2000."
