[:en]Word has it that China may finally be about to provide second-line treatment to some people with HIV/AIDS.
On a recent trip to China, people with AIDS told AC that roughly one in five of the people they knew living with HIV were at the point where they needed second-line treatment. Duan Jun, an activist from Henan province, said that roughly 40 percent of the people he knew needed second-line. Those numbers are deeply worrying. Just a year ago, we translated a letter from a group of Chinese AIDS activists demanding second-line treatment immediately.
