International News China's First AIDS Outpatient Service LaunchedJune 2, 2004 The Shenzhen Hospital for Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases in the Guangdong Province has launched an outpatient service for dermatosis and AIDS -- considered to be mainland China's first outpatient service for AIDS. "We keep dermatosis in the name of the outpatient service with the hope of better protecting the privacy of patients, or they might have a feeling of being isolated," said Zhou Hua, deputy head of the hospital. Zhou said the new outpatient service offers patients HIV/AIDS consultation, testing and treatment; it also serves as a clinical platform for execution of diverse HIV/AIDS prevention programs inside the hospital. Zhou added the new service would soon form a special public health nursing team to teach local entertainment-sector workers about STD and HIV prevention.
