HIV Risk Behavioural Survey for Ethnic Minorities (Filipinos and Indonesians) in Hong Kong 2019

Ethnic minorities (EM) are one of the key populations of HIV infection. In 2018, the 141 non-Chinese HIV cases newly reported to the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) constituted 22.6% of reported HIV cases in 2018. Although the proportion of new HIV cases among EM has decreased from 30% in 2012 to around 20% (figure) in recent years, it was still disproportionately higher than the 8.0% of EM among the Hong Kong population. About half of the EM cases were of Asian (non-Chinese) ethnicities.
