TL;DR: HIV and syphilis prevalences among MSM in China are high and the 2 epidemics are largely separate geographically, but three segments of the Chinese MSM population each have different demographic and sexual risk "profiles" that suggest high potential for bridging infection across geographies, generations, and sexes.

TL;DR: The data revealed that China was in the low prevalence area for hepatitis C infection and the results suggested that the comprehensive measures for HCV control and prevention had been successfully achieved in the country.

TL;DR: A significant decrease in HCV and HBV prevalences in Chinese dialysis units showed that infection control measures were effective, however, because nosocomial transmissions persist, strict adherence to infection Control measures should be emphasized to reduce the risk of transmission.

TL;DR: When combined with PCR and simple gel electrophoresis, BCA-based microplate and MMPs assays can be used to quantify HIV-1 p24 antigen and may provide a useful approach to detect p24 in patients newly infected with HIV.

TL;DR: China has made significant progress in establishing a well-coordinated HIV laboratory network and QA systems, but the coverage and intensity of HIV testing and quality assurance programmes need to be strengthened so as to ensure that more infected persons are diagnosed and that they receive timely prevention and treatment services.
