China has large number of government organized NGOs (GONGOs), including Family Planning Associations, Women's Federation, Red Cross, Youth League, trade unions, and diverse academic associations. The members in these GONGOs have formal positions in governmental organizations while they volunteer at GONGOs. The "true" NGO that has no relationship to the government is just emerging in China. More and more of existing Chinese GONGOs are getting involved in sexually transmitted disease/AIDS prevention. Since the 1990s, the Chinese government has encouraged them to participate in HIV/ AIDS control. These government-sponsored NGOs support HIV/AIDS education and academic publications and participate in AIDS research and education with foreign governmental and non-governmental partners, and they can serve as a powerful aid to the Chinese government to achieve the goal of stopping further spread of drug use and HIV/AIDS epidemic.
