<strong>PKU</strong> <strong>News</strong>, Beijing, Dec 2nd, 2004: <strong>PKU</strong> revved up its anti-AIDS campaign by<br />

organizing a range <strong>of</strong> activities to improve the general public's awareness <strong>of</strong> the killer<br />

disease in response to this year's 16th global advocacy campaign with the theme<br />

"Women, Girls, HIV/AIDS."<br />

The ―Anti-AIDS in China‖ photo exhibition at the triangle area presented the real<br />

condition, epidemic features, the life <strong>of</strong> AIDS patients and the support for the<br />

anti-AIDS work. ―The facts revealed how crucial we are in such a period on one<br />

hand ; on the other hand, the effective prevention measures assure us that we are on<br />

the right track.‖ said Ma Li, postgraduate from the medical school.<br />

A non-pr<strong>of</strong>it TV story-song entitled‖ Love in the sunshine‖ by famous HK pop stars<br />

attended by large audience conveys basic preventive knowledge and ―live and let<br />

live‖ human feelings in an artistic way.<br />

Many welcome booklets, leaflets have been delivered in the spot by organizers,<br />

postgraduate association <strong>of</strong> sociology department, <strong>Peking</strong> postgraduate association<br />

and China Disease Control Center (CDCC); a series <strong>of</strong> informative speeches <strong>of</strong><br />

anti-AIDS are giving in details these days; related articles are being solicited.<br />

Charity activity initiated by <strong>Peking</strong> Red Cross and name-signing campaign voiced by<br />

the department <strong>of</strong> medicine echoed in the special day.<br />

―Anti-AIDS never end and we students should do whatever to battle this war<br />

unswervingly.‖ said Tao Min, freshman from the school <strong>of</strong> International Relations.<br />

The number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficially reported HIV positive cases in China has now climbed to<br />

89,067 including 20,786 AIDS patients, nearly 4.5 times against the reported figure<br />

in 2002, according to a Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health report released Wednesday. Moreover,<br />

estimates <strong>of</strong> a far greater number <strong>of</strong> still unknown carriers present a huge challenge<br />

in quelling the epidemic.<br />
