Targeting such high-risk groups is the main agenda for AIDS societies worldwide as experts have cautioned that the gay community is at a higher risk of becoming HIV positive.

China, otherwise, has only a 0.05 percent population that is infected with AIDS.

Apparently, over 20 HIV-positive children studying in the government school have been boycotted by their normal peers.

Parents, after finding out about HIV children studying with their children, started demanding that school authorities make alternate arrangements for the education of infected children.

Reportedly, parents are worried that their wards will contract the deadly disease from HIV-positive children studying in the school.

Parents have declared that they will not be sending their children to the school until authorities address their grievances.
