Guangdong boosts HIV/AIDS aid (2)

By Sun Xiaobo (Global Times)

AIDS killed more people than any other infectious disease in Guangdong in 2011.

Rabies and tuberculosis were the second and third most deadly infectious disease that year.

Guangdong aims to basically curb the rising in HIV/AIDS infections by the end of 2015.

The plan said there is an obvious increase of cases among homosexual men and couples.

The province has also asked local health, education, human resources and social security departments to eliminate barriers against patients and their families and reduce their burden of medical treatment, citing widespread discrimination.

"It's right to devise a specific policy on handling these patients, but ultimately they should be treated the same as others," Meng Lin, coordinator of China Alliance of People Living with HIV/AIDS, told the Global Times.
