Migrant workers equipped with knowledge on AIDS

Country faces uphill battle in fight against new infections

BEIJING - AIDS prevention among millions of migrant workers faces a severe challenge, as the country struggles to bring new infections under control, a senior health official has warned.

"Migrant workers have little knowledge of disease prevention due to less education and inadequate health consciousness," said Hao Yang, deputy director of the Office of the State Council Working Committee for AIDS Prevention and Control.
