The correspondents agree with Yu et al.( Amer. Jour. Publ Health (1997) 86 1116) that a standardized surveillance system is needed to provide nationwide epidemic information on which a disease control and prevention strategy may be based. More epidemiological studies are needed to characterize the epidemic in China. Most important, given China's huge size in terms of both population and territory, a persistent, long-term, massive public campaign against HIV/AIDS and rigorous prevention and control measures should be implemented.
