Women at higher risk of getting AIDS from men

TAIPEI, Taiwan — The chances of a woman getting HIV from a man is 20-times greater than the other way around in Taiwan, a local group promoting AIDS awareness pointed out.

The Taiwan Lourdes Association said that although there were only 1,755 female AIDS/HIV patients as of September, the chances of women getting infected via their male partners are very high.

Most of the women were been infected through unsafe sex, as they usually fail to insist on their partners using condoms, Lourdes said.

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
