• "Media must rethink AIDS coverage"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle and Bill Valentino for China Daily, 24 August 2005.
  Last weekend, CCTV's "News Investigation" aired an unprecedented programme about the relationship between HIV/AIDS and gay men in China. While the show aimed to demonstrate that stigmatizing gay men and irresponsible sexual behaviour both increase the risk of HIV transmission in China's gay communities, it failed to place this vulnerable group in the larger context of the country's AIDS epidemic. This omission could lead the television audience to mistakenly believe gay men are responsible for spreading AIDS in China, or that homosexuality causes AIDS.

  Cathel Kerr, Lancet Infectious Diseases (Vol. 5), August 2005, p. 474.
  Current trends in sexual behavior could promote an HIV epidemic among the heterosexual population in China.
   
• Edmund Settle quoted in "US and China cooperating on HIV/AIDS" (UPI), Washington Times Online, 9 June 2005.
  Beijing, China, Jun. 9 (UPI) -- China and the United States do not agree on many issues -- everything from trade to Taiwan -- but the bilateral relationship sometimes can shine when it involves fighting a common foe.
   
• "Yes, Gay Men are at Risk in China"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle for the International Herald Tribune, 21 January 2005 [PDF]
  Clearly, it would be beneficial for health officials to actively support gay organizations' efforts to develop measures to distribute education and prevention materials, coordinate outreach programs and encourage voluntary testing. Such cooperation would significantly benefit China's national AIDS response, as well as strengthen the gay community's ability to sustain effective, long-term prevention and education programs.

• "AIDS in Central Asia: It's the Economy"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle and Dr. Yuan Jingdong for  Asia Times, 8 October 2004 [PDF] (中文)
  The Shanghai Cooperation Organization seems blind to the growing menace and reality of AIDS. In three meetings in three months it has focused on terrorism, trade, economic integration and energy security. But it says nothing about how the AIDS virus can sap its economies and destroy its blueprint for prosperity.
   
• "Fighting HIV/AIDS a Long-term Task"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle for China Daily, 15 September 2004 [PDF]
  During the Forum on Population and Development held last week in Wuhan, China released its latest policy and budget commitments to combating AIDS. Even with these encouraging announcements, the overall success of China's AIDS control efforts will depend on Beijing's willingness to explore alternative channels of HIV/AIDS information distribution to effectively educate the general population.
   
• "Legalize Prostitution in China"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle for the South China Morning Post, 29 July 2004 [PDF]
  Before the recent 15th International Aids Conference in Bangkok, Premier Wen Jiabao issued an unprecedented statement that openly outlined China's Aids prevention and control plan. This top-level policy statement is the latest evidence of China's growing acceptance of its Aids problem. Beijing's continued commitment is welcome, but existing Aids control polices often impede effective prevention work among high-risk groups.
   
• "A Photo Call is Not a Cure"
  An op-ed by Edmund Settle for the South China Morning Post, 4 December 2003 [PDF]
  Last month, senior Chinese officials held an extraordinary set of meetings with business leaders, nongovernmental groups and international organizations to discuss efforts to avoid a looming catastrophe. This positive shift in top-level commitment - and photo opportunities - is welcome, but it is insufficient to improve the critical area of local HIV/AIDS policy implementation.
   
• "AIDS in China: An Annotated Chronology 1985 – 2003," 
  (中国艾滋病大事年表 1985-2003), 15 November 2003 [PDF]
  Over a year in the making, “AIDS in China: An Annotated Chronology 1985-2003” compiles more than 20 years of Chinese and international open-source material, concise overviews and analysis on the extent of AIDS in China and its major policy issues. The objective of this report and the website, China AIDS Survey, is to increase the overall awareness and provide a historical foundation of China’s AIDS crisis among policy makers, international aid workers, professional stakeholders and the general population. I believe this report will not only provide a historical context, but also have a positive impact on raising the world’s awareness of China’s AIDS crisis.
