AIDS cases in Greece increase significantly
ATHENS, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- The number of people suffering from AIDS in Greece has increased roughly 10 percent in the past year, according to a study conducted by the University of Athens and released on Monday.
The study found that there was a significant increase in women AIDS carriers by approximately 18 percent.
The study also found that the virus among the Greek population seems to have undergone a mutation making the disease more aggressive and more contagious.
According to infectious disease specialist Ch. Lazanas, the new version of the virus means that the disease manifests more quickly, while the majority of those afflicted by it had had homosexual relations.
Infectious disease expert G. Gargalianos emphasized that early detection is vital since the earlier therapy starts will produce the more effective results.
