HIV diagnoses in Israel climb; new cases among gays up sharply
Yuval Azoulay; 27/6/08
The number of HIV-positive people in Israel increased substantially in 2007, a turnaround from a drop in new diagnoses the previous year. Health Ministry figures indicate a sharp rise in HIV cases in the gay community. The International Federation of the Red Cross/Red Crescent yesterday published its annual disasters report, classifying AIDS as a severe disaster in Africa and urging that it be classified along with famine, war and floods.
