[Berkshire]

But encouraging news for Thailand. The following are excerpts from the article:

[The U.N. report, issued in conjunction with World AIDS Day this Saturday, shows nine countries with at least 25 percent increases in infection rates since 2001. Six of those countries are in Asia — Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan — in addition to Georgia, Guinea-Bissau and Moldova.]

[“Still, 25 countries have witnessed a decline of 50 percent or more in new H.I.V. infections since 2001,” according to the Web site CSR-Asia. “Among the countries with the greatest declines are Papua New Guinea, Thailand, India and Cambodia.”]
