HIV infected children play with a bicycle at a red ribbon primary school known as the Green Harbour in Linfen, Shanxi province November 29, 2009. The school, operated by a hospital since 2004, provides cultural courses and lodging for 14 HIV-infected children aged 10 to 14. People in China living with HIV and AIDS face widespread discrimination and stigma, with even medical workers sometimes refusing to touch them, according to a U.N. survey released last week.
