The latest survey shows the Chinese public does not have enough knowledge of AIDS and how it's transmitted. Discrimination against AIDS sufferers also remains widespread.

Experts say these factors are the main obstacles for China's AIDS prevention work. But the Chinese government has shown its determination to prevent the spread of AIDS.

The symbols in the worldwide fight against AIDS -- three giant red ribbons -- are unveiled at the Bird's Nest in Beijing one day ahead of the World AIDS Day.

They will remain there for half a month. It demonstrates the Chinese government's determination to prevent the spread of AIDS, and the promotions of a good social environment for the anti-AIDS work.

The China Anti-AIDS Media Project Union has released its latest survey which was conducted in six big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
