HIV cases tapering off among 15-to 24-yr-old students

HIV infection rates among students between the ages of 15 and 24 in China have been brought under control, especially over the past three years, a top public health expert said.

The number of newly reported HIV cases among this demographic in China has remained stable in China over the past three years.

The figure was 3,077 last year, compared with 3,053 in 2016 and 3,236 in 2015, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China Daily on Tuesday.
