Official statistics indicate there are about 370,000 HIV carriers in China, and it is estimated that the number could reach 740,000. But because of discrimination, most people are afraid to be tested for the disease and remain silent.

A recent Chinese documentary about AIDS entitled "Together" has broken the silence and is listed in the Panorama section at the ongoing 61st Berlin International Film Festival.

Film director Zhao Liang and producer Gu Changwei attended a press conference to discuss the film on February 12 in Beijing.
