Over 300 people infected with HIV/AIDS from Checheng County, Henan reportedly petitioned the Chengzhou government yesterday over insufficient supply of medicine they are receiving from the government. They also complained about the poor quality of the medicine. Most of the petitioners were infected with the HIV virus after they donated blood in government-backed blood collecting stations in the 1990s.
