In terms of treatment, China is lagging way behind. But In terms of prevention, anyone in China who wants to know about HIV/AIDS can get information with very little effort. Condoms are literally available at every corner, in washrooms, hotels, bars, everywhere. I would even say, in China anyone who does not know actually does not want to know. China is way ahead of certain other nations, where believes are that a healthy male can't contract HIV or that intercourse with virgins could be a cure for AIDS. </p>
