Fear of more HIV infections
(Telegraph.co.uk) The Daily Telegraph website quotes Dr. Jiang Hua, "one of China's leading HIV experts", as saying "I've heard that many sex workers from Sichuan are going to Kardze and Ngaba (Chin: Aba) and we are very concerned about this". He added that the issue had been a major point of discussion at an HIV seminar he had recently attended. Dr Jiang said: "Tibetans have a different culture and opinions on reproduction. Condom usage is really very low. So it is widely expected that there will be more disease". "The potential risk is huge", said Dr Jiang.
