News Briefs Canada: Percentage of Hetero AIDS RisesDecember 13, 2001 New HIV/AIDS numbers show the percentage of new cases among heterosexuals has risen to its highest level yet in Canada. For the first time, heterosexual exposure topped 30 percent of positive HIV tests in the first six months of 2001 -- reaching 31.9 percent. The January to June 2001 numbers from the Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control also show a decrease in positive HIV tests among men who have sex with men -- down to its lowest rate of 36.2 percent. Because the numbers only show half the year, however, experts are cautious about putting too much stock in them.
