...heavily affected provinces like Henan, Hebei and Shaanxi, an entire generation is vanishing in the shadow of AIDS. In family after family, mothers and fathers are dying, leaving as many as 200,000 children in Henan alone either parentless or in the care of aging grandparents. Ho and his colleagues were the first foreign group officially allowed to visit one of its villages, Wenlou. At the local hospital, only two doctors care for more than 1,000 HIV-positive patients, and they were trained not by the Chinese health system but by one of Ho's colleagues based in China...
