Ministry of Health calls for Strengthening of AIDS Control work in model districts

CCTV: Ministry of Health Circular: Each area must strengthen AIDS prevention and control management work.

Since last year, China started setting up a network of basic medical and social care providers for people with HIV/AIDS based in villages, townships, and (urban) neighborhoods. The Ministry of Health goals for the model AIDS prevention and control areas must be met: 70% of the residents must understand basic AIDS prevention information; condom use among those with HIV/AIDS and their partners must be more than 95%, and 70% for other high-risk groups; more than 90% of people with HIV/AIDS must receive standard treatment, with clinical and preventive services; an organizational mechanism must be set up for AIDS prevention and control work, which implement prevention measures and provide social and emotional support and assistance for people with HIV/AIDS; on a foundation of self-help and support, provide care and assistance to 90% of people with AIDS in the district. China will use the experience of these districts to expand AIDS prevention and control to a national level, to prevent the further spread of HIV/AIDS.
