Pepping up prevention

More are calling for HIV-prevention procedure amid rising infections among gay men, Shan Juan reports.

Non-governmental organization worker Yang Jie believes the authorities are overlooking an important weapon in their fight against the growing threat of HIV/AIDS.

Yang, who is the coordinator of the China Male Tongzhi Health Forum secretariat, an NGO committed to HIV/AIDS prevention among gay men, is advocating for universal access to an HIV-prevention procedure known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
