The person in charge of this clinic said that it the gay clinic is temporarily being housed in Chaoyang Disease Control Centre but will have two or three branches in Beijing community hospitals in the future. HIV positive gays will be able to participate in the national free AIDS treatment effort.
The website www.hivolunt.net allows people to apply online for testing and treatment and to participate in the disease tracking project. Participants in tracking project will get a ￥50 mobile phone charge card.
