The Southern Metropolis Daily said the four-year-old boy was rushed to the Shenzhen Childrens Hospital after falling from a platform at a local railway station on April 25. The boys head hit a rail, causing heavy bleeding. Before the operation, the mother remained silent when she was asked whether the boy had any infectious diseases. Doctors then treated the boy and required him to stay in the hospital as they continued to check for internal bleeding. A routine blood test the following day showed that the boy was HIV-positive. The mother admitted hiding the truth for fear of being turned away by the hospital.
