Over 30 years after China’s first diagnod ca, HIV/AIDS patients still struggle to live life out of the shadows
病毒与偏见：两名艾滋病病毒感染者的抗争之路
“Can you call me tomorrow morning? Right now, he’s here with me and I can’t talk about ‘it,’ you know what I mean?” 27-year-old Laurel writes to TWOC on WeChat. “He” is Laurel’s legal husband (though she still calls him “fiancé”), and Laurel indicates she would only be available to chat before he gets home each day at 5:
Laurel, who works at a jewelry store in China’s southeastern Fujian province, is one of an estimated 1.3 million people in the country living with HIV, according to a survey published earlier this year. She s
ays there are “less than five people” who know of her condition, including her doctor and her mother, but her husband is not one of them. “Honestly, I don’t know how he is going to react,” says Laurel, describing her daily life as “walking on a wire.”
Since the world’s first ca of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) was diagnod in San Francisco in 1981, the lives of people with HIV have become increasingly visible—even shown on TV, as in the BBC ries It’s a Sin. In China, however, the dia remains a socially taboo subject.
Chine rearchers diagnod the country’s first AIDS ca in 1985 and its first locally transmitted infection in 1990. In the following decade, the mysterious, deadly dia ravaged parts of the country, fueled partly by tainted blood transfusions. In the mid-90s in central China’s Henan province, 70 percent of houholds in some villages reported at least one person infected with HIV.
In the 1990s, China’s respon to the AIDS epidemic focud mainly on treating infected people and monitoring certain groups, including x workers, long-distance truck drivers, and pregnant women, as well as people who injected drugs, tho who sought treatment for xually transmitted dias, and men who had x with men (MSM).
In 2003, China’s then-Premier Wen Jiabao unveiled a broader respon program called the “Four
Frees and One Care.” The initiative offered free antiretroviral drugs to AIDS patients in rural areas and tho with financial difficulties; free HIV testing and counling; free drugs for HIV-infected pregnant women to reduce mother-to-child transmission; free testing for newborns; and schooling for children orphaned by AIDS. Since 2013, China has provided universal access to HIV medications.

In 2005, China diagnod 40,711 total people living with HIV/AIDS, with 5,729 deaths documented. Up until 2018, the most recent year when data is publicly available, however, the number has skyrocketed to 820,756 with 253,031 deaths. Rearchers believe there is a huge gap between the figures and the actual number of infected people, partly due to society’s stigmatization and ignorance of the dia, which leads people to avoid eking diagnosis.
The demographics of people living with HIV in China are also changing. Whereas the virus ud to be prevalent among blood donors and high-risk injection drug urs in southern border provinces, where narcotics smuggling is a persistent social issue, current data indicates that HIV rates are rising among MSM, young people between the ages of 15 and 24, x workers, and niors.
In 2018, Laurel fell sick with a strange, lasting cold with a fever, which worned so rapidly that she was hospitalized. After asking about her past relationships, her doctor told her that she had likely contracted HIV from a previous xual partner.
有价值的 Laurel stayed in hospital for four months, receiving treatment for a whirlwind of complications around her kidneys, liver, stomach, gallbladder, and heart. Becau she was not registered as a local resident, the state only paid 30 percent of her medical fees. Her family put up the remaining sum—almost 1 million RMB (155,000 USD)—from loans and from funds raid by a local volunteer network.

Although Laurel has partly recovered from her physical ailments, she still battles the mental distress the dia has caud. She says she worries about being a financial burden on her family and fears that other people will find out about her condition.
Laurel ud to think that people living with AIDS were “social deviants.” “Before it happened to me, I kind of had the understanding that people who had AIDS derved it, becau they’d mesd up their own lives by being promiscuous or taking drugs,” she says. “I’ve gotten to know a lot more about HIV and accidental exposure since having it mylf, but I have zero hope that people around me will really understand.” In Quanzhou, the city where Laurel lives, a restaurant owner sued a competitor in 2017 for spreading a rumor that he had contracted AIDS, which forced him to clo his noodle shop.
