Dec. 1 - One way to mark World AIDS Day Thursday would be to wander over
to Yuyuan Road near the Jing'an Temple for a meal at the city's first
AIDS-themed restaurant.
The Chinese eatery, which was set up by a local media firm and a US
multinational, will give away condoms to adult dinners and encourage
customers to donate their change to AIDS charities.
The restaurant, named Wumizhou, will open on Thursday targeting
white-collar workers, according to officials with the Wumizhou Group.
"Following the precedence of an AIDS eatery in Thailand, this theme
restaurant in Shanghai was launched by the Wumizhou Group and US-based 3M
to wipe out prejudice, distribute condoms, promote education and sponsor
AIDS charities," said Fang Yifang, an official in charge of local AIDS
charity programs.
The Shanghai Health Bureau announced on Wednesday that the city has
detected 1,506 HIV carriers since it began screening for the disease
about 10 years ago, including 164 people with full-blown AIDS.
