Chinese law stipulates that all medical agencies must provide HIV/AIDS patients with medical services for non-AIDS diseases, but it does not specify a punishment should hospitals refuse.

"There should be a clear definition for discrimination against HIV carriers and what punishment this will result in," said Xia Donghua, a senior NGO expert.

"Governments should better promote knowledge about HIV/AIDS among the public," said Meng Lin, a coordinator for China Alliance of People Living with HIV/AIDS.
