AIDS in Asia

In 2008, 4.7 million people in Asia were living with HIV according to the United Nations. The spread of AIDS is most commonly due to uprising drug abuse and paid sex. Compared with other regions, notably Africa and the Americas, the national HIV prevalence levels in East Asia are very low (0.1% in the adult (15-49) group.) This is still a lot of people due to size of population. The HIV prevalence rate across this region is less than .35 percent. Due to the population size this brings the total of HIV infections to 4.2 - 4.7 million adults and children. More AIDS deaths (480,000) occur in this region than any other region except sub-Saharan Africa. 81% were men, and  19% were women.
