Abstract
The recent article on scaling up programmes to prevent sexual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is timely and addresses a compelling topic.1 However, there are two points that should be emphasized in understanding how to organize an effective response to China’s expanding sexually transmitted HIV epidemic: (i) the heterogeneity within China’s commercial sex industry; and (ii) the unique organizational and social forces that constrain responses.Keywords
