China is currently experiencing one of the most rapidly expanding HIV epidemics in the world. Although the overall prevalence rate is still low, with a population of 1.3 billion, high-risk factors which have contributed to the HIV/AIDS epidemics worldwide continue to prevail in China, including a high rate of injecting drug use and needle sharing, commercial sex with low rates of condom use, and concurrent sex with both commercial sex workers and non-commercial casual or steady sex partners. In addition, there are increasing "double risk" populations overlapping drug users and sex workers, as well as increasing rates of STDs and HIV among high-risk populations. Sexual transmission, therefore, may serve as a bridge connecting high-risk populations with general populations. There is an urgent need to prevent the spread of HIV from these high-risk populations into the general population of China.
中国目前正经历着世界上最迅速蔓延的艾滋病疫情之一。尽管总体流行率仍然较低，但在中国，导致全球艾滋病病毒/艾滋病流行的高危因素依然存在，这一国家有着13亿人口，其中包括注射吸毒和共用针头的高比例，低避孕套使用率的商业性行为，以及与商业性工作者和非商业性临时或固定性伴侣的同时性行为。此外，吸毒者和性工作者这两类“双重风险”人群不断增加，高危人群中的性传播感染和艾滋病病毒感染率也在上升。因此，性传播可能成为连接高危人群和普通人群的桥梁。迫切需要防止艾滋病病毒从这些高危人群传播到中国的普通人群中。
