HIV sufferers ‘must be treated’

The Ministry of Health urged medical organizations to ensure AIDS patients could receive medical treatment after a HIV carrier was reported Wednesday to have forged his medical records to access treatment after initially being denied an operation for his lung cancer.

Vice Premier Li Keqiang urged the Ministry of Health to guarantee AIDS patients' right to treatment while protecting the safety of medical personnel that treat the patients, the ministry announced on late Wednesday.

The Beijing News reported Wednesday that a 25-year-old Tianjin native was refused a lung cancer operation by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital after he was found to be HIV positive.

He then visited the Ditan Hospital of Capital Medical University in Beijing. However, the hospital specializes in infectious diseases and thus did not have the capacity to perform the operation he needed.
