Migrants to get help in AIDS fight

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) yesterday launched an ambitious project to prevent the spread of AIDS among the country's 150 million migrant workers.

The three-year project will cover key industries and places that have a high concentration of migrant workers in Guangdong, Yunnan and Anhui provinces and the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

China has an estimated mobile population of about 150 million. The project will provide free education and training on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment to as many migrant workers as possible.
