HIV and AIDS have long been problematized in the Peopleâs Republic of China as objects of governance in political frameworks and institutions. The stateâs attitudes towards health programs have nevertheless changed significantly during the 21st century.

It explains the origins rationales and implementation of initiatives focused on female sex workers and explores the extension of such initiatives to include other populations identified as key to ending the AIDS epidemic especially homosexual men and rural-to-urban migrant labourers. Ultimately through an analysis of the different approaches to the governance of commercial sex and sexual health Governing HIV in China concludes by considering the challenges raised by Chinaâs commitment to the United Nationsâ vision of ending AIDS as a global health threat by 2030.
