a
children whose parents died of aids in henan province have been given new hope. last week the provincial government(政府) answered the children's cries by promising 60 million yuan to improve schools, and these children’s life. but without the help of dr gao yaojie, these cries may never have been heard.
    "although some of the children were born with hiv (艾滋病病毒), 90% of them were not infected (被感染) ," gao said. "but people are still afraid of being infected and keep away from them. many children change their names after finding a new family."
     henan's aids problem became known in 1996. poor farmers often sold their blood in the late 1980s and early 1990s and that had caused hiv to spread through dirty needles(注射針) and infected blood use. as a doctor, gao yaojie believed she should help: over the last eight years she has visited over 1,000 aids and hiv patients and published thousands of pamphlets(手冊) to call on people to pay attention to aids. with her help, hundreds of orphans have returned to school or found new families.
