Post-90s Generation Boy with AIDS Seeks Marriage on Street on Qixi Festival

August 13, Beijing, Qixi Festival by the lunar calendar. An HIV-infected man and some volunteers held a matchmaking event on a busy commercial strip in Beijing’s Xidan district, to draw public attention to the lives and rights of people infected with AIDS.

An HIV-infected man seeking a marriage partner on the street. Some passers-by not only went forward to interact with him, but also generously engaged with him with intimate contact such as hand-shaking, hugging, etc.

Yet many other passers-by still refused to stop even if to simply exchange a few words.

Seems like its easy to be infected if one often has anal sex. Requesting scientific explanation.
