HONG KONG: The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned Tuesday that a sharp rise in HIV/AIDS infections was looming among Asia’s homosexual men unless they were given better access to health services.
“The proportion of HIV infections being transmitted among men who have sex with men is larger and more significant than we had originally believed,” said Massimo Ghidinelli, the WHO’s adviser on HIV/AIDS in the Western Pacific, in a statement.
“Action needs to be taken now if a major increase in HIV/AIDS cases is to be averted” in the region, he said. “We need to target HIV prevention strategies, together with better access to health services, for men who have sex with men.”
