But Japan is the only one first world country in which the number of new HIV carrier is increasing.Someday, might catch up with other "advanced"countries.
The condom and avoiding intravenous drug use are common precaution all over the world.Too overrate sex tendency is a little misleading.

Illegal intravenous drug use is very rare in Japan, so it is easy to see why that is hardly a factor. I am not sure what you mean by "overrate sex tendency" but if people in Japan are going to transmit HIV, chances are it is going to be through sexual contact. Geographically, Japan is an island nation, which gives it an extra layer of protection. When I moved to Japan my employer required I take a physical exam, which included an HIV test.
I think it is safe to say legal foreign residents are more likely to engage in relationships with Japanese natives than tourists will, so if my employer is the norm, then the reason there is so little HIV in Japan is not the conservative nature of society, but because the access for HIV infected individuals is limited.
