Some worrying news from AFP and CDT today, which reports that of the 90,000 (known) sex workers in Beijing, only 53% use condoms, despite numerous warnings about the spread of HIV/AIDS. This is particularly worrying given the fact that the capital has had more exposure to such publicity campaigns than other parts of the country. Makes you wonder what the percentage would be in more remote towns and cities.
For the first time in Beijing, it has been found, sexual transmission of HIV has also replaced intravenous drug use as the most common transmission route for the virus, though as there is no testing programme, the infection rate amongst Beijing prostitutes is as yet unknown.
