When AIDS first arrived in Taiwan, the majority of the island's HIV-positive persons were homosexuals. Today, however, 34.9 % of Taiwan's HIV-positive persons have contracted the virus through heterosexual activities, while only 22.4 % have contracted it through homosexual activities. The largest HIV-positive group is heterosexual.
