A survey taken in six major cities in China shows that most adults discriminate against HIV/AIDS sufferers.
The survey, from February to March, was conducted by Renmin University of China with financial and technical support from UNAIDS.
The survey covered 6,000 people and 30 percent said children suffering from HIV/AIDS should not be allowed to attend school, 65 percent were not willing to stay in the same room as a sufferer, and 48 percent would not share a meal with them.
