More medical care, support for inmates with HIV

Shanghai is upgrading its detention system by providing professional medical care and mental support for suspects with special conditions such as HIV carriers.

The No 3 Detention Center in Shanghai's Qingpu district has been the only one of its kind in the city receiving HIV-positive suspects since May 2010.

"Establishing such a mechanism has greatly eased the burden for other detention centers in the city in dealing with such cases," said Li Lixin, head of the No 3 Detention Center.
