Australian mining boom linked to HIV spike
By Michael Perry
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's mining boom may be fuelling an alarming rise in HIV infections among cashed-up heterosexual outback miners and businessmen in resource-rich states who holiday in Asia, say researchers.
Rates of HIV infections in Australia have increased by almost 50 percent in the past eight years, according to a new national HIV-AIDS report released on Wednesday.
In the year to December 2007, Australia had 27,331 cases of HIV infection and 10,230 cases of AIDS, said the report by the National Centre in HIV Epidemiology and Clinical Research.

What the hell?!
When will people realize that correlation does NOT always mean relationship. It's getting ridiculous. In fairness, I admit that there is an outside chance that the relationship is there, but the chance is very, very slim. |
