Prevention/Epidemiology China Admits Gays as a Major Group for AIDS Prevention, ControlSeptember 2, 2005 China must not fail to recognize the existence of gays or the need to target HIV/AIDS prevention to them, as they represent a key group in the battle against the epidemic, said Chinese Vice Health Minister Wang Longde. The minister was speaking at the Beijing Plus Ten meeting, which marked the tenth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women. Since some men may have sex with both men and women, women may also be at risk of infection, he said. Wange also said that China is exploring the possibility of releasing a "much more accurate figure" of its HIV/AIDS epidemic on Dec. 1, World AIDS Day. Authorities estimate some 840,000 Chinese had HIV at the end of 2003. Xinhua News Agency 09.01.2005  This article was provided by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
