An outpatient service for the treatment of HIV/AIDS has been launched at the Shenzhen Hospital for Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases in South China's Guangdong Province.

It is considered the first outpatient service for HIV/AIDS in the Chinese mainland.

Zhou Hua, deputy head of the hospital, said they would offer patient consultation, testing, treatment of AIDS and related conditions such as skin and other ailments, as well as care and intervention they need via the newly launched outpatient service.

According to Zhou, his hospital also houses the Shenzhen City Centre for Prevention and Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) which is responsible for affairs ranging from prevention and treatment, disease control, scientific research and monitoring of STD and HIV/AIDS in the city.

Zhou believed the new service would also serve as a clinical platform for execution of diverse programmes designed to prevent and treat AIDS inside the hospital.

Fifteen HIV patients were found via the centre's former outpatient service on dermatosis, of which, 11 cases were discovered in the first five months of the year.

Zhou said a team of specialists will soon be organized to teach local people who work in the entertainment sector various prevention methods against STD and HIV/AIDS.
