In Taiwan, using estimates from the Ministry of Justice, among 130,000 intravenous drug users, there are perhaps 15,600 persons infected with the AIDS virus. Subtracting the 3662 cases already reported, there could be about 12,000 cases which have not yet surfaced. An especially noteworthy feature of drug-associated AIDS is that it is much more likely to spread rapidly among the heterosexual population.
在台灣，以法務部推估的人數計算，全台 13 萬使用靜脈注射的毒癮者中，感染愛滋病毒的可能有 1 萬 5,600 人，減去目前通報的 3,662 人，等於還有 1 萬 2,000 名感染者尚未浮現。
