        Xi calls on public to care AIDS patients as "brothers and sisters"

        (Xinhua) Updated: 2012-12-01 05:34

        BEIJING - Vice President Xi Jinping on Friday visited a group of people living with HIV/AIDS in Beijing, urging society to abandon discrimination against such groups and "to light their life with love."

        Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, talked to HIV carriers, doctors and anti-AIDS volunteers at a community clinic in south Beijing on the eve of World AIDS Day.

        He shook hands with HIV carriers and learnt about the progress in drug treatment and counseling service they have received.

        "HIV/AIDS is not terrible in itself, but what is really dreadful is the ignorance on HIV/AIDS and the prejudice against AIDS patients," said Xi.

        "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.

        Xi praised Sun for his optimistic manner and encouraged him to do as much as possible in contribution to anti-AIDS efforts.

        It is unfortunate to be infected, but with care from the society and medical treatment, it is possible for many patients to recover, Xi told Sun.

        Xi also stressed the unique role of counseling services in combating HIV/AIDS, such as helping infected people allay fears and the sense of inferiority to be more confident.

        During the visit, Xi joined a group of disease-control workers and volunteers who were taking part in training on how to teach HIV-prevention knowledge among those who are mostly vulnerable to the infection.

        Xi said although effective disease-control measures have been implemented in China, "we must take note that the situation for preventing and controlling HIV/AIDS is still grave, prejudice against HIV-affected people remains serious, and there is a lot to do in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention and control."

        He called for an earnest implementation of the country's 2011-2015 plan for HIV/AIDS prevention and control, which requires the participation of the entire society, an all-out investment and a comprehensive prevention.

        "The prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS should cover all the affected people without differentiation to ensure that the care from the Party,government and the whole society can reach them," he stressed.

        China, with a population of over 1.3 billion, has an estimated number of 780,000 people living with HIV/AIDS. The number of reported cases of HIV/AIDS stood at 492,191 by the end of October, including 68,802 new cases this year, according to the Ministry of Health.
