A candid account of the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China over the last three decades. The government overcame its early ambivalence and mounted a campaign which provides HIV prevention and treatment solutions that are socially and culturally adapted to the domestic reality. The National Centre for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention has emerged as a pioneer in the implementation and evaluation of innovative programmes, in particular expanding treatment as a way of preventing AIDS and premature mortality and secondarily limiting new infections. They are generating peer reviewed evidence that is helping to shape AIDS control efforts globally. China is strongly positioned to face the remaining challenges to control the epidemic and to contribute to the global attainment of the United Nations 90-90-90 Target as a means to end the AIDS pandemic for 2030.
