About the China AIDS Network
Founded in 1994, China AIDS Network (CAN) is a professional organisation whose core members are from the Beijing Medical College. The majority of members are professionals in academic or public health institutions. This nationwide network also embraces professionals from other disciplines involved in social and behavioural research dimensions of AIDS research.

CAN has conducted HIV/AIDS research projects amongst taxi drivers and hotel attendants in Beijing, Nanjing, Dalian and Xian and amongst migrant workers, long distance truck drivers and hotel workers along highways in Southern China. Since 1999 CAN has worked to promote HIV/AIDS awareness among commercial sex workers in Hainan and Guangxi.
The China AIDS Network serves as an advisory body to the central government on AIDS issues. There are plans to establish counselling training centres to instruct trainers in three provinces and promote quality-counselling approaches among health professionals.
