As China's Communist Party prepares for an imminent leadership change it is more than usually anxious to keep the AIDS scandal quiet. Many people were infected with HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, in government-backed blood-selling schemes in the 1990s. Donors, mostly poor farmers, were re-infused with pooled blood once its plasma had been removed. Tens of thousands contracted HIV this way. The government has never admitted responsibility. In recent years the central government has become more open in admitting the extent of the problem and has provided a little more aid to those affected. But activists say that local officials often ignore central-government orders to improve care for victims.
