AIDS campaign launched

A nationwide initiative to enlist college students in an anti-HIV/AIDS campaign was launched in Beijing yesterday.

The year-long initiative by the China Woman/Child Care Committee under the All China Women's Federation will reach 1 million students at 50 colleges and universities across the country to raise awareness and teach them about prevention.

The education program will be rolled out in various forms including general information brochures, lectures on prevention, and organizing AIDS patient care activities, said Liu Xiaoping, director of the committee.
