Dr Wong Ka-hing talks to RTHK's Wendy Wong
Young gay men are now becoming the majority of HIV virus carriers, a latest study by the Centre for Health Protection has revealed.
Dr Wong Ka-hing of the Centre said unlike before, those aged between 20 and 29 now make up the majority of the group. "Some were below 20 years", he said.
The number of new HIV cases recorded in the first half of the year hit a record high of 352. That represents a 16 percent rise from the figure from the same period last year. Most of the cases involved men who had sex with men.
