Guangzhou made an educational plan to prevent HIV/AIDS in schools and control rapidly increasing HIV infections among youths(青少年). The first HIV infection among students in Guangzhou was found in 2002. Altogether, 231 HIV/AIDS cases have been reported since 2002 up to the end of 2014, with an increase of 46.4 percent each year, according to the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention(广州疾病防控中心). The center showed a plan on its website on Monday to raise awareness among students. The plan will be carried out until 2018.
Students with HIV/AIDS in Guangzhou were 0.74 percent of the total population who were with HIV/AIDS in the city in 2002 and rose to 3.91 percent in 2014. More than 50% of them in Guangzhou got HIV/AIDS between men. However, the education of youths on HIV/AIDS prevention still needs to be improved to meet national standards. According to the Guangzhou CDCP, 92.84 percent of the students in Guangzhou knew something about HIV/AIDS prevention. That’s a little lower than 95 percent required by the central government. Of the 231 HIV/AIDS cases among students reported in Guangzhou, 165 included school information. The students came from 74 schools, including 38 universities, 29 vocational(职业的) schools and seven middle schools.
