AIDS-infected tourist in Bali

DENPASAR, Bali: A foreign tourist known to be infected with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has left the tourist island but local officials and doctors remain tight- lipped about identity of the holidaymaker.

They refuse even to disclose the sex of the tourist, who spent several days in Bali under close surveillance by local authorities until the holidaymaker left on Jan. 17.

The tourist, who visited Bali with a partner and private doctor, spent most time in the hotel Antara reported.

An official of the provincial health office said the tourist carried a card which confirms that the holder has AIDS.(pan)
