This paper presents a successful social model in China for HIV/AIDS care. Shuizhou, a medium-sized city in China, has developed a "Government lead, social support and mutual help among patients" social model, which has achieved valuable results. The model comprises four networks focusing respectively on management, health promotion, funding, and care centre and home care. The model brings together a wide range of organizations, government entities, and (some) enterprises, contributing to a variety of tasks, from leadership to finance. Meanwhile, neighbourhood support for HIV/AIDS patients ensures personal care, family support, and health promotion. Over its four-year operation, the model has achieved improving social and financial results. It deserves interest beyond China
