Annual Report August 2014 – July 2015. Hong Kong Advisory Council on AIDS. (2016)
 |
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), and in the absence of treatment, approximately half of the HIV-infected people will progress to AIDS in 10 years’ time. The main routes of HIV transmission are : sexual, injecting drug use, blood-borne and from mother to child. Hong Kong’s first HIV cases were reported in 1984. Similar to the trend in many other developed countries, the early HIV infections mainly arose from blood or blood products transfusion. Later sexual transmission, including heterosexual and homosexual contacts, became the commonest route of HIV transmission. It accounted for 76% of all reported HIV cases in Hong Kong as at 30 June 2015.

In adults, diagnosis of TB is relatively easy and mostly confi rmed by examination of the sputum for acid-fast bacilli. Chest radiography plays a lesser role (compared to sputum-smear examination) in the diagnosis of adult disease.
