The article reviews major achievements in three broad areas in fighting against HIV/AIDS epidemic in China in past 35 years.

The specialized personnel for HIV/AIDS programs have grown up and have played significant roles in the battle against the epidemic. Remarkable achievements have been made in surveillance to monitor the HIV epidemics, in providing care and treatment for people living with HIV, and in providing effective prevention services to key populations at high risk of HIV infection. Challenges are presented and recommendations are provided.
