     AIDS prevention and control work required from the very state, non-specific system into the normal, conventional, and integrated into the existing social system. This is the Center for Social Policy Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences recently completed a research report "China's AIDS-related policy analysis," the main opinion.
     The report is thorough researcher of Yunnan, Sichuan, Henan and Beijing, after the formation of research, one of Yunnan and Sichuan are the spread of drugs, especially in ethnic minority areas on behalf of drug spread, Henan are representative of blood-borne, and Beijing is being growing number of male transmission of male representatives to.

     AIDS, the growing crowd, "specialization"

     The report's main author, Social Policy Research Center Deputy Director Yang Tuan Fellow In a recent interview with China Youth Daily reporter that the current AIDS prevention and control mode has already brought a number of issues, outstanding performance is affected by AIDS and the growing crowd, "specialization", This became our country AIDS major constraint to sustainable development bottleneck.

     The report explained that the so-called "specialization" refers to diseases and for AIDS affected people, from top to bottom set up a special management body and the appointment of specialized medical units, equipped with specialized medical personnel, introduction of specialized care aid policy from preventive interventions, medical treatment to the relief aid, its own system. For example, researchers found in Henan AIDS village in general has focused on two clinics, one specifically for HIV-infected persons and AIDS patients, is mainly to serve the common villagers of conventional disease. Both functions can be described as clear, distinct object.

     Report contains an analysis of the view that the AIDS and the affected population growing, "specialization", excluded from the existing social institutions, the harm has at least three:

     First, the deviation from the existing control system, the allocation of resources and reducing efficiency. Undue prominence to the specificity of AIDS, but AIDS, chronic diseases lead to more and more watered down property, prevention and treatment work to strengthen more and more political property. Moreover, local governments will lead to more and more into less, entirely dependent on international cooperation projects and the central transfer payments, resource allocation and control of a serious discrepancy between the demand. As a result, AIDS prevention and control of human, material and financial resources more and more restricted, limited resources from being consumed by the substantial multi-sectoral coordination and the low efficiency of the special work.

     Secondly, the formation of abnormal, "the privileged class." Compared with ordinary patients with infectious diseases, the modes of publicity because of the special places of special treatment, special treatment relief over time, AIDS patients and medical personnel and ordinary people will create a different feeling. In particular, consider themselves different AIDS ordinary sick, the Government should give me free drugs, directly into the minimum subsistence guarantee to help restore production and life of my order. AIDS doctors and other doctors feel that they are not the same, my AIDS patients are treated, the Government must ensure that I will not go wrong, will have to give my hair bonuses.

     Third, is not conducive to guide AIDS patients as part of the society to change the dangerous acts of retaliation. AIDS and sexually transmitted mainly through individual acts, it is difficult to control by coercion. To reduce the number of AIDS patients with sexually transmitted intention must be changed to AIDS in a susceptible population at risk of culture, values and practices. AIDS prevention and control, "specialization" approach and undermine the entire crowd on AIDS prevention and improve understanding and extensive knowledge of infected and susceptible population outside of the vast majority of people do not think with their own special policies related to the resulting AIDS and social discrimination and exclusion and early effects of AIDS stigma that order of magnitude. Because, when ordinary people spontaneously, consciously people with AIDS to draw boundaries to their marginalization, the AIDS on vulnerable groups into society abandoned by the public at risk.

     AIDS prevention and control can be integrated into existing medical and insurance system

     AIDS report normalized main ideas are: The AIDS prevention work into the existing social system, in health, social security, disabled services in the existing public service system to synchronize the planning, synchronization implementation, achieve normal operation, the conventional management.

     The report holds that AIDS is a chronic infectious disease, therefore, resist the AIDS health care system is necessary, and necessary public health prevention system. AIDS prevention and control will be integrated into the medical and health system is not only conducive to the treatment of AIDS patients, but also conducive to the early susceptible prevention, early detection, early treatment.

     Secondly, the AIDS-infected people and AIDS patients belong to socially vulnerable groups, than the general population more in need of the social security system support and from the community and home care. And these systems are taken GSP is not only a particular group. Therefore, the AIDS-infected people and AIDS patients to a very low cost of individual use of these policies and Pratt & Whitney system, using these systems to solve the employment, pension, medical care, rehabilitation, school and other issues.

     In 2005, the World Health Organization has officially classified as AIDS as a disability. The report holds that our country should be as soon as possible HIV-infected persons and AIDS patients with chronic diseases included in accordance with the disability, injury and rehabilitation of areas of concern.

     AIDS in ethnic minority areas a long way to go

     Researchers report in 2007 and 2008 several times in Sichuan Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Dehong Dai and Jingpo states to conduct in-depth field research, these two provinces and even the whole country is also affected by the drug hazards and AIDS-stricken area. Dehong Prefecture in Yunnan Province as an example, the end of 2004 Jeonju has 25,285 drug addicts, accounting for the state 2.41 percent of the total population, accounting for drug addicts in the province was 37.1 percent, accounting for the national drug users 3.2% ; cumulative AIDS virus detected in 8124 cases of infection. After 3 years of war the people of AIDS anti-drug efforts, a new breeding ground for drug addicts at an average annual rate of continuous control at 1% or less, the existing drug addicts from 2004 to 25,285 reduced to 15,314 in 2007, nearly 3 years to reduce the people.
