China is lacking both the financial and human resources needed to combat a new wave of HIV/Aids infections, especially in southern and western regions, said a senior health official.
Wu Zunyou, a top Aids official at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said there was an alarming number of new HIV cases, predominantly among intravenous drug addicts and sex workers.
China does not have recent statistics on the total number of HIV cases in the country, but Mr Wu’s statements echo concerns expressed by officials in Beijing, including the health minister last month, and international health professionals.
