Chinese experts say China is giving homosexuals good access to health care services.

Secretary-general of China's Sexology Association Hu Peicheng says the Chinese Government, scholars and some non-official organizations are providing homosexuals with physical and psychological health care services.

China has established 40 surveillance stations across the country to prevent the spread of AIDS among homosexuals. Some big cities like Beijing and Shanghai have set up special hotlines to provide psychological support for homosexuals.

The Ministry of Health estimates that China has between 5 and 10 million male homosexuals.
