Beijing in HIV: Big Drop in New AIDS Cases
During the January-October period, Beijing has witnessed a significant drop in new HIV/AIDS cases, reported authorities.
The capital city reported 34,289 HIV/AIDS cases from 1985 to October this year, it said.

Sexual transmission was the main channel of AIDS prevalence, accounting for 93 per cent of the infections.

Beijing has made antiviral therapy more accessible to AIDS patients at more medical institutions and enhanced HIV testing for high-risk groups, to prevent and control new cases, according to the commission.
