He is the longest-surviving person with HIV in China. He's had more than his share of adversity, but refused to let that affect him. He now heads an organization that helps other infected people. On World AIDS Day, CCTV reporter Wang Guan talked to Meng Lin and found out why social stigma and discrimination remains a huge hindrance to the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Meng developed HIV symptoms 14 years ago. A lasting lung infection almost ended his life. Making it this far, only HE knows how much he has endured.

Meng said, "What's kept me going over the years? I don't know...maybe to live, just to live, living is better than...well, you live and live with dignity."
