Shame of discrimination

Ignorance and selfishness are the culprits for the discrimination against a child with AIDS.

More than 200 villagers signed a letter, asking the local government to take a 8-year-old boy with HIV out of the village for treatment so that they would not be infected with the virus.

The boy, in Xichong county of Southwest China's Sichuan province, was staying with his grandparents after his parents left home when he was still a baby. He was born with the virus but not diagnosed until 2012.
