My friend Meltem told me that their country (Turkey) has less AIDS cases than we have in America and she said that the first case in Turkey occured in 1985. She showed me the number of cases. It was 1067.

She also said that İstanbul is the city which has the most AIDS patients in Turkey. I think it's because İstanbul is the biggest city of Turkey and it is a cosmopolitan city. It has 2 airports and everyday millions of people interact with foreign people. Also, the population is very high so its normal to have that much cases.
