Epidemiology of HIV infection in the Republic of Korea.

Journal of Korean medical science - 1 Oct 1999

Oh M D, Choe K

Abstract excerpt

Since the first case of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the Republic of Korea (ROK) was detected in 1985, 876 HIV-infected patients have been reported, as of December 1998. The male to female ratio was 6.8:1, and 87% of the patients were between 20 and 49 years of age. The major modes of transmission were sexual contacts, accounting for 86% of the cases (65% heterosexuals and 21% homosexuals)....
