Indonesia, Vietnam face growing HIV epidemics: UN

"While the epidemics in Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand all show declines in HIV prevalence, those in Indonesia (especially in the Papua province) and Vietnam are growing," UNAIDS said.
In both countries, the majority of new infections occurred among injecting drug users and from unprotected sex with non-regular partners or sex workers.
But in Indonesia's remote Papua province, bordering Papua New Guinea, the epidemic was more serious with unprotected sex being the main form of transmission, it said.
A province-wide survey in 2006 found HIV prevalence among 15-24-year-olds was 3 percent.
In Vietnam, the estimated number of people living with HIV more than doubled between 2000 and 2005 to 260,000, UNAIDS said.
While the majority of new infections were still linked to injecting drug users, increasing numbers of women are acquiring HIV from males who caught the virus through intravenous drug use or unsafe paid sex, the report said.
