Condoms appear on Chinese TV to Address Potentially Huge Aids Problem

BBC
Condoms have made a rare appearance on Chinese state television as part of an official campaign to highlight the dangers of Aids.
The 30-second film, broadcast across China, showed a young couple, with a voiceover explaining the importance of safe sex.

It was prepared for World Aids Day on 1 December, according to state media.

China faces a growing Aids problem, but has been cautious about officially promoting contraception.

...The disease is estimated to have increased by 30% a year in China since 1998, with more than 800,000 infected with HIV.

The United Nations warns China's Aids cases could rise to 20 million by 2010.
