UNAIDS says that according to Chinese government sources there were an estimated 1.25 million people with HIV in China at the end of 2018.
One HIV-positive volunteer AIDS campaigner in China told Reuters he has set up a group chat that includes more than 100 HIV patients, mostly in Hubei province - epicentre of the COVID-19 outbreak - where he is helping patients to share limited stocks of medicines between them.

I wasnt sure where this post should be in the corona virus threads or perhaps the drug addicts post or perhaps in a post exploring homosexual activity spreading aids in china the fact is I dont know if its caused by china's unsanitary use of needles among drug addicts or hospital eating infected monkeys etc but its obvious the Chinese medical system is overloaded and unable to care for its people.

According to experts, the total number of individuals with HIV (including those who are undiagnosed) was estimated in 2016 to be between 0.85 and 1.5 million^[1] (the lower estimate is from the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation). Prevalence of HIV in adult people is between 0.8 and 1%.^[2] According to the UN, Russia has one of the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemics in the world.^[3] Approximately 95,000 Russians were diagnosed with HIV in 2015, and approximately 75,000 in the first nine months of 2016.^[3] Stigma surrounding the disease, and government indifference have contributed to the crisis.^[4] As of 2016 the HIV/AIDS epidemic, despite successes with intravenous drug users, was poised to move into the general population of sexually active young people.

I suspect drugs have more to do with their problem then people having sex , their population is in decline with lower and lower birth rates yearly
