China's HIV time bomb
China's numbers are growing as Chinese officials acknowledge the magnitude of the problem. A year ago, the official estimate for the number of Chinese people infected with HIV was 600,000; a few months ago it was increased to 800,000.
Now the head of the Chinese Ministry of Health's Disease Control Department says around a million people are HIV carriers.
International organisations like the United Nations believe that is still an underestimate, and that China has an enormous problem on its hands.
