Officials with the International Medical Center of Japan reported last week that drug-resistant HIV infections are on the rise in the country, with about 4% of patients newly infected with the virus carrying HIV resistant to at least one anti-HIV medication, the Tokyo Daily Yomiuri reports. Of 205 patients diagnosed with HIV at the medical center in 2002, eight were infected with drug-resistant strains of the virus, limiting their treatment options before therapy even began.

"We should pay close attention to the trend." Cases of drug-resistant HIV transmissions have been documented in most Western countries, including the United States.
