World AIDS DayPosted by Joel Martinsen, December 1, 2005 11:10 PM
 Free gift with purchase. On World AIDS Day this year, like last year, Beijing's media worked to promote education and safety. The copy of BQ I bought this afternoon came with a Durex Love brand condom and a "Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise" sticker. The Mirror reports that the subway weekly 1-D was being distributed with a Wonder Life brand condom. Also today, The Beijing News reported that the new AIDS prevention measures currently under discussion, which aim to keep HIV carriers under 1.5 million by 2010, also include language condemning discrimination against HIV carriers. The report notes that much of the discrimination comes from fear resulting from ignorance, an observation supported by the newspaper's cover photo which features a smiling singer holding the hand of someone offstage and carries the caption "Yesterday in the hall of the Beijing Zuoan Hospital, a 30-year-old HIV carrier and a nurse hold hands and sing Good Dreams for Good People." The caption indicates that the HIV-positive individual is actually the obscured figure on the right. Links and Sources
