Asia has become the new battle ground for the war against HIV/AIDS. The magnitude of the potential public health problems caused by AIDS in this populous continent may become a catastrophic disaster. A 10% rate of prevalence of HIV-1 in India and China alone would mean more than 200 million people are infected with HIV. AIDS in Asia is useful as a comprehensive, up-to-date AIDS reference book for public health and medical professionals. This volume provides concrete information on the diagnosis, treatment, care, prevention and impact of AIDS. Part I contains 'Snapshots of HIV/AIDS in Asia.' Countries and regions included in this section are: Thailand, India, China, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Part II addresses the molecular epidemiology of HIV/AIDS. Part III deals with the diagnosis, surveillance and projected scenarios of the AIDS epidemic. Part IV outlines prevention efforts and treatment options. Part V provides an overview of the ongoing collaborative efforts involved in several different nations in the worldwide war against AIDS. This volume will be invaluable to all the public health professionals and researchers working in this field. "...the book is a useful addition to the HIV/AIDS literature." "AIDS in Asia offers a comprehensive, interesting overview of the epidemic there and of general issues that will influence its progression." -Roger Detels, MD, MS, University of California-Los Angeles The Journal of the American Medical Association, Book Review, 293:15

Overview: -- In 2008, an estimated 4.7 million people were living with HIV/AIDS in Asia, and, in 2007, 75% people living with HIV/AIDS resided in three countries - China and India, the two most populous countries in the world, and Thailand. India alone is home to more than 45% of all people living with HIV/AIDS in the region (2,400,000 people), and is the third largest epidemic of any country in the world behind South Africa and Nigeria. -- Within the region, HIV prevalence rates vary. Rates in East Asia and South/South-East Asia (less than 0.1% and 0.3% in 2008, respectively) are lower than the global prevalence rate (0.8%), and prevalence rates in many countries across Asia have been stable in recent years. However, some countries, mostly those located in South/South-East Asia, have experienced increases in prevalence rates in recent years, including Indonesia, Pakistan, and Vietnam. In addition, the epidemic in the Papua province of Indonesia has been of particular concern, as a 2006 population-based survey found an adult HIV prevalence rate of 2.4%. -- In 2008, there were about 350,000 new HIV infections and 330,000 deaths due to AIDS in Asia. -- HIV in Asia is spread primarily through sex, with commercial sex largely driving transmission in much of the region. Injecting drug use is a major risk factor in several Asian countries and there is growing concern about the overlap of sex work and injecting drug use as well as the transmission of HIV to the partners of those infected through commercial sex. Finally, sex between men contributes to HIV transmission, particularly in Thailand and Viet Nam. Regional data show prevalence rates among men who have sex with men (MSM) are also high in parts of Indonesia, Cambodia, and India, but more research is needed to understand the extent of its impact.

South Asia's HIV epidemic is severe in magnitude and scope, with at least 60% of all people with HIV in Asia living in India. Because the HIV epidemic is highly heterogeneous, designing informed, prioritized, and effective responses necessitates an understanding of the epidemic's diversity between and within countries. This review was undertaken to provide a basis for rigorous, evidence-based HIV policy and programming in South Asia.
