Gates Foundation in China is hard to keep track of. Here is some AIDS money that appears to be going to AIDS care without catalysing change. Not everyone agrees with it, as you can see below.

Gates Foundation gives $2.4 million to nonprofit for China AIDs prevention
Article By Charlie Curnow On December - 29 - 2009

Pangea Global AIDS Foundation received a two-year $2.4 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to help the Chinese government and China-based nonprofit organizations support HIV prevention programs.

The grant will help Pangea continue its AIDs prevention efforts in China, which began in 2004. Programs supported by the grant will target 15 cities across China where government officials have determined that populations are at high risk HIV infection.

"The ultimate goal of the program is to improve health outcomes for HIV-positive persons in high-risk and under-served populations and to reduce HIV transmission linked with these populations," said Pangea chief medical officer and grant principal Dennis Israelski.

According to Pangea, the group’s main focus in China over the next two years will be on delivering HIV tests and results, linking HIV-positive people with quality treatment in hospitals and ensuring access to psychosocial counseling and supportive case management for HIV patients in order to improve their quality of life and prevent future transmission.

A number of Pangea’s services will be delivered in partnership with service-based nonprofit AIDS Care China. Pangea has worked closely with AIDS Care China, as well as the Yunnan Bureau of Health and the Clinton Foundation in AIDs prevention efforts over the past four years.

"Pangaea’s support will focus on bringing HIV-positive persons into a system of care that is equipped to provide a continuum of prevention and treatment services with linkages between NGOs and government health care providers," said Israelski.

The AIDs epidemic has hit China particularly hard in recent years. A Chinese government report released in February 2009 found that AIDs accounted for more deaths in the country than any other infectious disease in 2008, claiming 7,000 lives during the first nine months of 2008.
