A former drug user in Chengdu, Sichuan province, is applying for a lawsuit against the health agencies that wrongly diagnosed him as HIV-positive.
In the statement of charges submitted on Tuesday to Wuhou District People's Court in Chengdu, Zhong Xiaowei, 54, is demanding an apology from the Chengdu Municipal Center for Disease Control and Sichuan Provincial Center for Disease Control for their alleged wrongful diagnosis on Dec 5, 2008.
He requested the apologies be published in the media and asked for compensation of more than 933,000 yuan ($141,000), which covers economic losses and mental injury.
