'Israel' averages 300 new cases of HIV annually

Zionist regime's AIDS Taskforce ahead of World AIDS Day warns true infection rate of HIV may be twice as high.

 

The UNAIDS and World Health Organization (WHO) 2007 report on the status of the AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome) epidemic estimates that some 33.2 million people are currently living with the HIV (Human immune deficiency virus) virus.

 

Between the years 1981-2006 the regime's authorities recorded 4,999 new cases of HIV in 'Israel.'

 

The number of HIV positive people currently residing in Israel was set at 3,940 in late 2006. Using a WHO-developed mathematical formula to factor in unreported cases and untested carriers, the figure climbs to 5,130.

 

Between the years 2002-2006 the average number of new cases stood at 330. In 2006 there were 336 new cases reported.

 

"The 4,999 figure only takes into account people who have tested positive and been registered. We at the Israel AIDS Task Force (IATF) estimate that the real number people living with HIV/AIDS in Israel is twice that many," said IATF officials.

 

 "There are a substantial number of carriers who are unaware of their condition because they have never been tested."
