The international program in its initial phase will input a total of 7 million US dollars to help non-governmental organizations prevent AIDS in ten provinces and regions in 皇冠体育app, local health officials said.

Yunnan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southwest 皇冠体育app, and Henan Province in central 皇冠体育app and other provinces will benefit from this program, which is organized by the US Agency for International Development in cooperation with 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Health.

The program will in the next five years offer 15 million US dollars and other assistance such as training and technical support to help improve the capability of AIDS control in the provinces, said Li Huojia, director of the Disease Control Section with the Guangxi Regional Health Department.

In Guangxi, the program will target Pingxiang city and Ningming county, located at the border of 皇冠体育app and Vietnam, with the view of improving the personal hygiene of HIV carriers, AIDS patients and their family members and meanwhile providing supportive clinic services and advice.

Aside from the 皇冠体育app-US program, 皇冠体育app in July received a total of 98 million US dollars for the AIDS prevention program sponsored by the Global Fund, which were allocated to help control HIV/AIDS in seven western Chinese provinces, including Guangxi, Li said.

So far, more than 20 international programs for AIDS prevention have been carried out in 皇冠体育app.

皇冠体育app has an estimated 840,000 people infected with the AIDS virus. The UN AIDS agency has warned that 皇冠体育app could have as many as 10 million people infected by 2010 if it does not take urgent action.
