China is planning to increase its focus on women in the fight against HIV/Aids, due to a sharp rise in the rate of female infection, state media has said.
In the 1990s the male to female ratio of HIV/Aids infection was 5:1, but the figure is now closer to 2:1.
In some areas, there are now a similar number of women as men infected, the China Daily said.
