Beijing, Nov 30 (IANS) Sex between men is on the rise in China, and was a major factor leading to the rise in new HIV/AIDS infections in the country, the health ministry has said.

In the first 10 months of this year, 21 percent of all new HIV infections recorded in China came from male homosexuals, Xinhua reported.

This represented a sharp rise compared to 15 percent cases attributable to homosexuals in the same period last year, the ministry said.

The report also showed that the number of new infections among young people between 15 and 24 as well as people above 50 years of age were rising.

In the first 10 months, the numbers in the two age groups were 9,514 and 16,131, a year-on-year increase of around 13 percent and 20 percent respectively.

The only positive note was that the percentage of mother-to-infant HIV transmission dropped from around 35 percent to 7.4 percent in the past decade. About 3,400 children were prevented from being infected.

"Sex between men is on the rise in China..."

Yet another gift of the one child policy. Some estimates indicate that by 2020 there will be app. 55 Million "extra" males in China for which no female will be available.

Correct and one of the reasons the headline is misleading. I suspect the correct headline should be "Homosexual activity leading to rise in HIV cases". Given the gender imbalances resulting from selective female abortion it's not surprising that many unpairable men are seeking other sexual outlets. This doesn't necessarily imply these men are homosexual.

It's similar to the situation in prisons where homosexual activity is more a result of circumstance than preference.
