An estimated 140 million women have an unmet need for family planning in Asia. Adolescents aged 15–19 have the highest levels of unmet need among married women. Some 38 per cent of pregnancies are unintended and 21 per cent end in abortion. Unsafe abortion accounts for 8 per cent of all maternal deaths, and annually over 2 million women are hospitalized due to abortion-related complications.
There are almost two new HIV infections for every person receiving treatment. Infections are declining in many countries, but increasing in Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. New infections, 95 per cent of them among young people, are concentrated among sex workers, men having sex with men, transgender people and people who inject drugs. Yet HIV programmes for these populations continue to be inadequate.
Translation - Russian
Согласно оценкам, в Азии проживают 140 миллионов женщин, чьи потребности в области планирования семьи остаются неудовлетворенными. Среди женщин, состоящих в браке, самые высокие уровни неудовлетворенных потребностей отмечаются у подростков в возрасте от 15 до 19 лет. Порядка 38 процентов беременностей являются незапланированными, а 21 процент заканчивается абортом. На небезопасные аборты приходится 8 процентов всех случаев материнской смертности, и ежегодно свыше 2 миллионов женщин попадают в больницы по причине осложнений, связанных с абортами.
На каждого человека, получающего лечение от ВИЧ, приходится почти два новых случая ВИЧ-инфицирования. Частотность инфицирования снижается во многих странах, но увеличивается в Бангладеш, Индонезии, Филиппинах и Шри-Ланке. Новые случаи инфицирования, 95 процентов из которых приходится на молодых людей, сосредоточены в среде работников секс-индустрии, мужчин, вступающих в половые связи с мужчинами, транссексуалов и потребителей инъекционных наркотиков. И все же программы профилактики ВИЧ-инфицирования среди этих слоев населения остаются несоответствующими масштабам проблемы.

TRANSLATION PHILOSOPHY
1. Never accept a translation job you do not have the time or skills for. 2. Work into your mother tongue only. 3. Meet the agreed deadlines. Period. 4. You are only as good as your last job.
If you think a professional is expensive, wait 'til you try an amateur. — Paul 'Red' Adair
