AIDS cases soar in past year.
Around 1.5 million people developed AIDS between mid-1993 and mid-1994--three times as many as in the previous 12 months, according to estimates released by GPA on 1 July. About 200,000 of the new cases are thought to be in south and southeast Asia, more than eight times as many as occurred in that region during the previous year.
