WHO Experts to Visit Central China Province to Study Effect of SARS on AIDS Sufferers
May 8, 2003 A spokesperson for the World Health Organization said today
the organization will send experts to the central Chinese
province Henan, where AIDS is widespread, to study how SARS might
affect people with AIDS. The WHO team will go to Henan on May 14.
"We don't know what SARS will do to people with AIDS," said WHO's
Mangai Balasegaram. In some Henan villages, as many as half the
adults were infected with HIV by an unsanitary blood-buying
industry. The province has reported about a dozen SARS cases, but
health experts worry that the number could rise as migrant
workers leave Beijing and other hard-hit areas and return to
their homes.
