Ignorance is non progressive
The people of China are ignorant to the properties of AIDS and believe the patience of AIDS to be highly contagious in just being in the same room as them. Not knowing the actual risks of AIDS has made such large amount of fear in the chine's society that it is both an economic and human rights issue. It is a human rights problem because these AIDS positive citizens are being denied rights and opportunities that are available to everyone. Part of the denial to the patience is an opportunity for a job and health care which is then an economic problem; this then creates a vicious cycle of the patient not being able to support their illness with proper health care.

I agree that the ignorance of the people in China is one of the major problems. Because of their ignorance, it is hard to convince the public that these people are safe, and fully-able to be teachers, or any other profession. It is also hard to escape if patients can't get a job because it does make it really hard for them to pay for their health care.
Ignorance is absolutely part of the problem. As long as the Chinese citizens are uneducated about the disease then nothing will change about how people react to the disease. I agree that this will be a vicious circle and the people who are infected will not get proper treatment as well as infect other people because they don't fully understand the disease.
