A second poster from China analysed the impact of Global Fund programmes in seven provinces in China form 2005-2007.

The number of patients on ART in 76 program counties in the 7 program provinces increased from 89 at baseline to 12,495, with a higher than the national average growth rate. The highest growth rate was witnessed in Yunnan where the number of patients on ART increased from 6 at baseline to 5616, with an average quarterly growth rate of 0.6. Since the launch of the program, the ART service network has expanded considerably, covering PLWHA in both program and non-program counties.

PLWHA were mainly infected through injecting drug use.
