The AIDS pandemic in East Asia is dominated by China. Much of the current spread of HIV in China is through injecting drug use and paid sex. In mainland China, the number was estimated at between 430,000 and 1.5 million by independent researchers, with some estimates going much higher. In the rural areas of China, where large numbers of farmers, especially in Henan province, participated in unclean blood transfusions; estimates of those infected are in the tens of thousands. In Japan, HIV transmission is mainly among men who have sex with men, some of whom might also be transmitting the virus to female sex partners.
