| | | Regional Overview | | Abstracted from the 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, UNAIDS, August 2008. | | Epidemiology and Trends | | Overall, an estimated 74,000 people were living with HIV in Oceania in 2007, about 13,000 of whom were newly infected that year. Most of the region's epidemics are small, except in Papua New Guinea, where the annual number of new HIV diagnoses more than doubled between 2002 and 2006, when 4,017 new HIV cases were reported. Unprotected heterosexual intercourse is the main mode of HIV transmission in Papua New Guinea, and unprotected paid sex in particular appears to be a central
factor. In Australia and New Zealand, unprotected sex between men is the primary cause of HIV infection. |
