What's New HIV Prevention and Education Treatment and Research Care and Support
China's Most Long-lived AIDS Patient Dies at 44

China's most long-lived AIDS patient died at the age of 44 on October 12 after 10 years of fighting the deadly disease, reported the Chinese National Radio website Monday.

Lian Dong, from southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, was diagnosed with AIDS in 1995, making him the first AIDS patient in that city.

He was reportedly doing business in southwest China's Yunnan Province in 1989, where he is thought to have contracted the disease after sharing needles to shoot up heroin. Then he became the first AIDS patient to enjoy free treatment in the city.

Lian's condition had been deteriorating since the beginning of this year. He became very thin, his legs started cankering, and his appetite was diminishing.

The hospital said he finally died of "liver prostration caused by HIV virus".

The world's most long-lived AIDS patient on record is an African child, who was contracted the HIV virus from the mother and lived until the age of 12, according to the report.

It is unclear how long the virus was in Lian's body before he was diagnosed. If the preclinical period was added, Lian's life span might be the longest in the world of an HIV/AIDS victim, the reported quoted experts as saying.

The experts contributed Lian's long life to several factors, including a medical treatment incorporating both Western and traditional Chinese medicine, good hospital care and love and encouragement from his family.

The Chinese Ministry of Health said last week that China had reported a total of 126,808 HIV infections, including 28,789 AIDS cases, by the end of June. The disease has killed 7,375 people.

However, experts estimate that China now has 840,000 people infected with HIV, 80,000 of which are thought to have AIDS. The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in China is predicted to exceed 10 million by 2010 if present trends persist.
