Unprotected Sex More Common in Taiwan than in Other Asian NationsOctober 16, 2001 More people in Taiwan have unprotected sex than anywhere else in Asia, local media reported on Sunday. About 14 percent of sexually active Taiwanese use no contraceptive methods, resulting in the highest pregnancy rate in Asia. An average of two people on the island contract HIV each day, and between 320,000 and 400,000 abortions are performed each year. The data were quoted from the 2001 Durex Global Sex Survey conducted annually by the condom maker.
