India

There needs to be a section on India since it has the highest population with AIDS in Asia.Wai Hong 06:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Philippines

Lowest HIV: On April 1, 2008, Bacolod City has 7 new cases of HIV with patients either married to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) or who have worked abroad themselves.^[1]Philippines has one of the lowest cases HIV/AIDS in the whole of Asia despite the bad prognosis of foreign-based anti-AIDS institutions. As of Feb. 29, 2008, a total of 3,119 HIV and AIDS cases were reported.^[2]

Those stats are probably low. See [1] for a better estimate of HIV/AIDS prevalence in Philippines. The fact that those numbers in the Visaya Daily Star article are provided by anti-condom propogandists leads me not to trust it as a neutral source. maxsch (talk) 16:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asian and world readers should have access to the law and the reported / unreported official numbers of AIDS in Philippines: The Philippine House of Representatives, through Cebu solon Nerissa Corazon Soon-Ruiz confirmed an estimated 11,000 undocumented and unreported HIV and AIDS cases in the country. But the Department of Health's HIV and AIDS Registry reported only 2,857 HIV and IDA cases (January 1984 to May 2007). Majority of the carriers are males, 25-39, predominantly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Ergo, she filed House Bill 1389 to amend R.A. 8504, "The Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998." The 2007 annual report of the UN AIDS Commission said that across Asia, 4.9 million people were living with HIV, including 440,000 newly infected in 2007, and 300,000 died of the disease.^[3] --Florentino floro (talk) 05:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in HIV/AIDS in Asia

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of HIV/AIDS in Asia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "UNAIDS":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:43, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
