The National Population and Family Planning Commission plans to add prevention and control of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases to their family planning and reproductive health services.

"In the anti-AIDS campaign, an open attitude should be adopted by the government and society," said Wei.

Also, gender equality should be stressed. "Poverty and inequality also fuel the acceleration of HIV infections, because women lack the power to negotiate their personal safety," said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, executive director of United Nations Population Fund.

Hua Jianmin, State Council secretary-general, said China would continue with its family-planning policy implemented in the late 1970s.
