Sammy, HIV is on the rise in China, for sure.  The increase is often understated and underreported for reasons that I will not touch here.  I have many Chinese male friends who are absolutely reluctant to use condoms and they tend to be highly promiscuous.  This invites trouble.  Women should understand this and insist upon this.  It's a touchy subject, I know, but one that somehow needs to be addressed.  Also, among my gay Chinese friends, and I do not have legions, I hear tales of unprotected sex, and try as I may to convince them to protect themselves.  It is a serious situation.

No, but there are other STD also. The women would go without a condom I saw, I was just not in a hurry and did always use one. The scary thing I noticed was that condoms do leak,, Durex etc, not only out but in as well.

Thakkudu:

go for durex jeans... the thickest :D

First of all, why don't you drop the term "foreigner"? You Orientals always use that term. * Have you heard of any Orientals infected by HIV or AIDS in China? ****** *****.

Not heard .....but I doubt that if any foreigner got transmitted with the virus, that he/she will go and shout this on the roof......this is a serious disease and I am wondering if the authorities are taking appropriate containment measures, or doing proper mass education....STD is on the rise too in China.

I have never heard of such incidents but that's because HIV is an extremely personal health issue. Society today still is not so open about it. I think things are changing though, MTV just aired a show called ”Im positive..” And it followed three young people who have the disease and go into how they got it. It really shows you that you can lead a normal life like anyone else.
So sorry about your friend. In the US if you test positive they provide you with counseling and stuff like that. is that an option here in China?

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
