  china has experienced such a growth rate of hiv in the past several years that one university has taken steps to allow students to test themselves by placing an hiv testing kit in a vending machine next to regular fare like snacks 
  china has seen a  yearoveryear increase in infection rates which likely prompted southwest petroleum university in nanchong city in sichuan province to install the test kits  
  sichuan province is one of the top three provinces in china with a disproportionately high rate of hivaids together with the other two provinces that have high rates of the disease the three account for over half of the cases of hivaids in the entire country 
   of new hiv cases occur due to homosexual activity 
  the kits retail for  and can be taken as a urine test to determine whether or not students need to seek medical attention those who purchase the test will collect their urine and send it to a laboratory and then access the results online this can all be done completely anonymously 
  similar kits can be purchased online but they retail for around  the cheaper vending machine tests are just as accurate and are partially subsidized by a charity to allow the test to be more accessible 
  reports state that the chinese have limited sex education and very little is discussed about hiv or aids many students who suspect they may have the disease do not seek medical help because of its link to homosexuality those who do have hiv are often thought to be pariahs by their families and friends because of its connection with samesex encounters 
  the disease is mostly spreading amongst young homosexual men but as with anywhere else women who do not use proper protection are also susceptible to becoming infected 
  doctors have stated that most young people who have become infected with hivaids in china lacked proper education and did not take appropriate precautions for prevention 
  the joint united nations programme on hivaids unaids states that there are currently about half a million people in china living with hiv or aids however this figure may be inaccurate due to underreporting
