AIDS campaign to focus on migrants, students
For most migrant workers, the backbone of this manufacturing and construction juggernaut, AIDS may seem remote and alien. But this situation will soon be a thing of the past.
Migrant workers and university students will be listed as two major target groups of the AIDS prevention education campaign, a senior official from the Ministry of Health told a seminar in Beijing on Saturday. The move will give a huge boost to China's war against AIDS. Migrant workers, many of them poorly educated, usually have little if any knowledge of this deadly infectious disease. Mainly in their 20s and 30s, they are in a sexually active age group. Considering the fact that many migrant workers live away from their spouses, it is obviously urgent to inform them of how to stop the spread of AIDS. The identification of university students as a major target group for HIV/AIDS education also makes sense. Though well educated, university students usually have had little or no sex education at middle school.
The near non-existence of sex education and their sexually active nature make students, who also tend to be more liberal in their sex lives, an at-risk group. In the past, only intravenous drug users and prostitutes were considered
at-risk or high-risk groups.
