December 1st is World Aids Day. To mark the day CCTV has released a new informational video that raises awareness about the disease with a special emphasis on HIV prevention among young people. The video stars CCTV hosts Bai Yansong and Zhou Tao, and Olympian swimmer Fu Yuanhui. Around 654,000 people in China live with HIV. And 7 percent of them are young -- between the ages of 15 and 24.

International organisations like UN-AIDS want to make it easier for patients, especially young patients, to access HIV treatment. UN-AIDS also urges schools and parents to take time to educate their students and children about the disease and how to prevent it from spreading.
