Intense efforts urged where AIDS is starting

Government leaders in developing countries must act to prevent AIDS
epidemics even if that means promoting such politically controversial
programs as condom use and clean needles for drug users,according to a
World Bank report released Monday.

The report recommended fast,intensive prevention efforts in countries where
AIDS is just starting to appear,saying millions of lives could be
saved.About 90 percent of all HIV infections occur in developing countries.

New evidence in the report suggests the virus may be on the verge of
exploding in parts of China,India,Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
