China: HIV/AIDS Statistics
• Population: 1.3 billion
• Extent (2007): Adult (15-49) prevalence rate 0.05% 700,000 living with HIV/AIDS 50,000 new HIV/AIDS cases 20,000 AIDS related deaths
• Primarily in Yunnan, Henan, Guangxi, Xinjiang and Guangdong provinces

Change in Sources
• 2005 Intravenous drug use: 62% Plasma donation: 9%Sexual transmission: 8%Unknown: 19%
• 2007Sexual transmission: 41% Intravenous drug use: 29%

China: Need for Education
• 2003 national survey found17% of never heard of HIV/AIDS77% did not know condoms can prevent
transmission
• In 2000 estimated 4 – 6 million commercial sex workers<30% knew condoms protect<30% perceived themselves at risk

• People at high risk (and their families) includeConstruction workers away from homeEmployees in long-distance transport People living along transport routesCommercial sex workers
42% of truck drivers report indulging in commercial sex while traveling; 33% of those who have casual sex don’t use condomsSurvey results, Poland and Lithuania border areas (World Bank, 2003)
Who is at Risk With Transport?

Migrant Workers: China Overview
• Some 120 million
• Spend 48+ weeks away from families
• Working in hard conditions
• Construction workers stay in same sex dormitories/camp sites
• Little access to HIV/AIDS prevention information and services
• Easy targets for drug sellers
• Have ample opportunities to interact with commercial sex workers
![Page 8: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Migrant Workers: HIV/AIDS
• New HIV/AIDS cases disproportionately amongst migrant workers
• In some cities migrant workers are largest group of HIV cases:61% in Beijing61% in Xi’an66% in Shanghai
![Page 9: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Addressing HIV/AIDS in Transport
• Some TTLs included HIV/AIDS as part of environmental management
• Position strengthened with new Bank SBDs:HIV/AIDS education as part of ‘Health and
Safety’ clauses
• TTLs now have responsibility to ensure HIV/AIDS education programs are undertaken
![Page 10: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
EAP - Modified SBD Clauses
• Bank’s HIV clauses adapted in EAP:Cater for (1) financed as provisional sum
and (2) grant projectsMade clarifications and simplified
• Translated, distributed to contractors and monitored in supervision missions
![Page 11: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Approach in China
• Clients do not see the need for HIV/AIDS education “road construction is my business not promoting
condoms”
• Unwilling to put major effort into activities
• Solution : obtain grant funding as ‘seed’ money Hire a provider to deliver training Ensures consistent standard of training throughout
project Minimizes efforts for highway agency (and TTLs)

Worker HIV/AIDS Knowledge
At start of project:
• 16% of were aware of HIV/AIDS transmission methods
• 40% thought transmitted by mosquito bites
• 71% knew how to use condoms
• 35% never and 26% rarely used condoms
• 33% knew where to go for HIV/AIDS counseling and blood testing services
• 44% had stigmatized attitude towards HIV/AIDS carriers

Three Phases
• Develop Program Co-ordinate with other agencies Develop materials
• Deliver Program Develop effective intervention plan Train Educators Set up VCTs for consultation and testing Conduct field visits
• Evaluate Results Semi-Annual monitoring Establish an HIV/AIDS strategy/operational
manual for replication in similar projects
![Page 16: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

HIV/AIDS Intervention Activities
• Knowledge Transfer AIDS-related posters, booklet and playing cards,
educational board, movies, etc. Text messages to all cell phone users Face to face education to construction workers
![Page 17: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
HIV/AIDS Intervention Activities

Program Outcomes (continued)
HIV/AIDS Positive*:
• 2004: 3 (1 from other region)
2005: 7 (2 from other regions)
2006: 12 (4 from other regions)
*(These cases were all past infections,
referring to cases infected before 2004)

23
Program Outcomes (continued)
• Increased general awareness among the workers and local residents – 71.4% in 2005 52.2% in 2005
• Condom sales up 10.4% in 2006 over 2005
• No significant change in stigmatized attitude
![Page 24: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Lessons Learned to Date
• Must include local health department
• Project must complement existing activities
• Target both workers and residents
• Means of intervention do matter – innovations (eg cards, text messaging)
• Window of opportunity is brief, get the timing and location right
![Page 25: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Lessons Learned (continued)
• Focus on behavior change
• Train ‘peer educators’ among highly mobile workers
• Get government and contractor’s buy-in early
• Set practical monitoring indicators – stigmatized attitude will not change overnight

26
2006 – HIV/AIDS Seminar
• Held in Wuhan
• Involved 60 domestic and international experts
• Discussed ways to raise HIV/AIDS awareness amongst transport workers
![Page 27: Transport Against HIV/AIDS in China](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812a4b550346895d8d8e26/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

What Next?
• EAP Transport has adopted a regional HIV/AIDS strategyVision: every project have an effective
HIV/AIDS campaignDevelop standard approach and
education materialsAdapt to each country
