According to the official at the prison management bureau, all HIV/AIDS
prisoners in Beijing will be put in the city's Jinzhong Prison, where an
attached hospital can provide medical treatment.
According to Yip, in most state prisons in the United States, prisoners,
whether HIV/AIDS infected or not, are jailed in the same prison after accepting
tests.
"Such a system has resulted in very few people getting AIDS in prisons."
A high proportion of AIDS sufferers are drug addicts,
and Chinese law requires that they should be cured of their addiction as soon as
it is discovered. Those found to be taking drugs after this will be sentenced to
three years re-education through labour.
