Objective: To review HIV/AIDS epidemic history, current situation and prevention policy in China. Data sources Information included in this article was identified by searching PUBMED (1997 - 2006) online resources using the key terms "HIV/AIDS", "epidemic", "prevention", and "China". Study selection Original milestone articles and critical reviews written by major pioneer investigators of the field were selected.
Results: The key issues related to the HIV/AIDS epidemic situation in China and Chinese government prevention policy were summarized. HIV/AIDS epidemic groups and trends for HIV transmission were discussed.
Conclusion: In January 2006, 650 000 people were estimated to be living with HIV in China. The overall HIV/AIDS epidemic is at a low level (0.05%) and concentrated in several at risk populations. However, the data show that new cases of HIV infection are growing every year and spreading from at risk populations to the general population. Premier WEN Jia-bao announced the "Four frees and one care" policy and the Chinese government has developed a series of programs with strong policy measures to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in China.

Background: Severe COVID-19 presents a variety of clinical manifestations associated with inflammatory profiles. People living with HIV (PLWH) could face a higher risk of hospitalization and mortality from COVID-19, depending on their immunosuppression levels. This study describes inflammatory markers in COVID-19 clinical outcomes with and without HIV infection.

People living with HIV/AIDS have been impacted notably by the COVID-19 pandemic in diverse dimensions. Although some impacts of COVID-19 on PLHIV have been well documented, there is still insufficient research that captures the overall understanding of the implications of COVID-19 for the healthcare utilization among PLHIV. This review aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on PLHIV, narrowing it down to women living with HIV/AIDS.

Sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear a disproportionate burden of the global HIV epidemic. Integrating HIV services into primary healthcare is a crucial strategy to accelerate progress towards ending the epidemic. However, several challenges hinder effective integration, including underfunding, human resource shortages, infrastructure limitations, weak health systems, and sociocultural factors.

Background: Achieving viral suppression through effective treatment adherence is critical for adolescents with HIV; however, the role of treatment adherence self-efficacy-an individual's confidence in their ability to consistently follow antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens-remains under-explored among Chinese adolescents. This gap is particularly concerning given the United Nations' "95-95-95" targets to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the treatment adherence self-efficacy levels of Yi ethnic adolescents with HIV in a county in Liangshan Prefecture, and to explore the association between self-acceptance, emotion regulation, and treatment adherence self-efficacy.
