Ethnic minorities (EM) are one of the key populations of HIV infection. In 2018, the 141 non-Chinese HIV cases newly reported to the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) constituted 22.6% of reported HIV cases in 2018. Although the proportion of new HIV cases among EM has decreased from 30% in 2012 to around 20% (figure) in recent years, it was still disproportionately higher than the 8.0% of EM among the Hong Kong population. About half of the EM cases were of Asian (non-Chinese) ethnicities.
