TL;DR: HIV epidemics among injecting drug users are decreasing in all regions outside southwest China and have stabilised at a high level in northwest China, and strong associations between HIV prevalence among at-risk populations in each province are recorded, supporting the existence of overlap in risk behaviours and mixing among these populations.

TL;DR: Assessment of the prevalence and risk factors for syphilis infection among female sex workers in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China found inconsistent condom use with clients in the past month, less education, and HIV infection were independently associated with syphilis infections.

TL;DR: Novel data from two national databases suggest diverse biological and social forces driving the spread of HCV in China suggest improvements in case detection and data reporting systems will be critical for understanding current drivers of transmission and identifying key areas for prevention.

TL;DR: While HIV prevalence and needle sharing among current injecting drug users in China have declined dramatically and are correlated with the scale-up of national harm reduction efforts, the recent, rapid increased use of 'nightclub drugs' presents a new challenge.

TL;DR: HIV, syphilis, and HCV prevalence among FSWs in this study decreased during the study period, and comprehensive intervention strategies are needed in order to decrease the disease burden in this population.
