Henan was the site of the Bloodhead scandal which resulted in rapid spread of the HIV virus during the 1990s among the impoverished rural population who sold blood at unsanitary Henan provincial and private collection centers where blood was collected from paid blood donors into a central tank, the plasma separated out, and the remainder of the blood pumped back from the central tank into the donors of the same blood type.〔("Revealing "Blood Wound" of Spread of HIV AIDS in Henan Province" in China News Digest, January 26, 2001 )〕 Gao is well known in China and worldwide for her AIDS prevention work in during the HIV epidemic in Henan, and for advocating much greater attention to people suffering from AIDS and children orphaned by AIDS.〔"China Places AIDS Activist Under House Arrest" article by Jim Yardley in the New York Times, February 6, 2007〕
