HIV/AIDS in Taiwan

Taiwan's epidemic of HIV/AIDS began with the first case reported in December 1984. In 1990, the government promulgated the AIDS Prevention and Control Act. As of May 2006, there are 11,000 reported cases. HIV/AIDS patients in Taiwan can receive free medical care (including HAART therapies), with the state covering the cost. Non-governmental organizations have set up "AIDS Half-Way Houses" for homeless patients.
