Officials there must focus not only on developing a pragmatic, realistic healthcare infrastructure in rural areas, but also on bringing about greater openness in China’s media in order to spread life-saving public information.
Like all epidemics, HIV/AIDS in China is a public health crisis that can only be solved with the mass dissemination of accurate information. Transforming promises and policies into patient rights, awareness, and effective health care will undoubtedly take time, especially for a country as massive and lacking in transparency as China. For the hundreds of thousands of HIV sufferers, this is likely to be more time than they have left. ”
