Xi, a 23-year-old from Henan Province was infected with HIV by a blood transfusion. He
reportedly petitioned the hospital and local government for compensation. Henan authorities
have reportedly detained individuals trying to draw attention to the issue of compensation for
HIV transmission through contaminated blood. Mr. Tian Xi worked for several years at
Aizhixing Health Education Institute, a non-governmental AIDS organization. In spring 2010,
Mr. Wan Yanhai, the founder and director of Aizhixing, reportedly relocated his family to the
United States, alleging government harassment. On 5 August 2010, Mr. Tian Xi reportedly
visited Xincai Number One People’s Hospital about obtaining HIV medication, as he did not
bring a sufficient quantity with him to Henan. The hospital director allegedly told Mr. Tian Xi
that he did not possess the authority to provide the required medication. Mr. Tian Xi was
upset by this response and allegedly broke some tea cups. On 18 August, the Xincai County
Police allegedly issued an order for Mr. Tian Xi’s detention on “suspicion of intentional
destruction of property,” apparently for the broken tea cups.
