Minister of Health Chen Zhu said on Tuesday he is concerned about the HIV/AIDS situation among migrant workers, but added that China has contained the fast spread of the disease.
Some 740,000 people in China were living with HIV by the end of 2009, Chen said, adding that sexual intercourse was the main means of transmission of the virus in China.
"On the whole in China, the spread of HIV is at a low occurrence rate, but in some parts of the country we are seeing a higher occurrence of the disease," he said.
