Border residents face higher risk of infection

Despite often spending several hours a day walking between villages in the mountainous areas of Southwest China's Yunnan province, Yang Chunyan always wears shoes with 10-centimeter-high stiletto heels.

The 38-year-old advocate of HIV/AIDS control and anti-drug education said she wants to present a dynamic, sophisticated image that will impress the local people and reinforce the message she is trying to convey.

As the director of the Yingjiang Charity Federation, Yang has cooperated with the AIDS Prevention Education Project for Chinese Youth since 2012, when it piloted six "Youth Love Stations" in Yingjiang county in Yunnan.
