Boy, 8, with HIV begins new life

An 8-year-old boy with HIV who was asked to leave his village in Sichuan province by residents last year has started a new life at a school for children with the condition.

The boy, nicknamed Kun Kun, contracted the virus from his mother.

He was admitted to a primary school near his home village of Shufangya in Xichong county in December after media reported that about 200 people signed a petition asking him to leave the village.
