China has a lot of people and all of these people need their sex. So you’d think the whores of China would be all about wrapping it up for their millions of johns. Notsomuch. No condoms + HIV = no wonder Asian people stay so thin.

MORE than half of Beijing’s prostitutes do not use condoms despite sexual transmission having replaced drug use as the most common infection route for HIV, state media says.

Just 47 per cent of the 90,000 sex workers in China’s capital used condoms, the official Xinhua news agency quoted Fang Laiying, director of the municipal public health bureau, as saying on Tuesday.
