Students face rising risk of HIV/AIDS infection

More liberal views on sex create 'serious challenges' for prevention

Students have faced increasing risks of being infected with HIV/AIDS in recent years, so it's necessary to be smarter and more cooperative in efforts to control and prevent it in China, the head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said.

"Reported cases of HIV infection among young males, especially college students, have been increasing in the past few years, with transmission mostly occurring through sex between men," Gao Fu said.
