The Village 127 French Bakery and Cafe in downtown Shanghai had been operating in an understated way for about a year and a half before a media report sparked a storm of unfavorable comments from members of the public.

The report, published by the Shanghai Observer on Dec 1, World AIDS Day, was intended to combat HIV/AIDS-related stigma. It explained that most of the cafe's employees had been born to families affected by HIV/AIDS in the inland provinces, and stressed that the employees were healthy.
