"All HIV carriers and AIDS patients are our brothers and sisters, and the whole society should light their life with love," he said.

Upon arriving at the clinic in Puhuangyu Community in south Beijing, Xi put on a red ribbon pin, an emblem popular around the world for symbolizing solidarity with AIDS-affected people.

He was briefed on the work of the clinic to roll out anti-HIV medicines among people with high-risk behaviors. He asked medical staff to make sure that the people can get rid of worries and persist with drug treatment.

In a counseling service room, the vice president met an HIV carrier surnamed Sun, who is also a volunteer of a peer education program to give face-to-face counseling to other HIV positive people.
