铁默斯预言：人血买卖与艾滋病的孪生关系

　　Abstract：This article analyzes the relationship of China’s AIDS epidemic and the human blood market shaped in the period from 1990 to 1995. The author begins with discussing Richard Titmuss’s warning in 1970 about the commercialization of blood collections for medical use and his proposal to conceptualize free blood donations as a “gift of life”. Then the author reviews the history of China’s human blood market and argue that for a long time the Chinese government has been doubtful of people’s enthusiasm for commonweal. Otherwise， the human blood market would not have thrived and there would not be so many victims infected with HIV/AIDS as a result of blood transition. Simply put， early 1990’s sales of human blood in China and the rapid spread of the AIDS epidemic constitute a symbiotic relationship.
