Objective To gain a systematic understanding of the impacts of HIV/AIDS on children in China. Methods Based on a multi-level framework established for analysing the impact of HIV/AIDS on children by linking the AIDS orphans and children vulnerable to HIV/AIDS with the environment where they were living, a questionnaire was designed for households visits and children interview. A survey was conducted in two places. Results The income per capita from production for the families was decreased owing to children affected by HIV/AIDS. The living conditions of the families with AIDS orphans were somewhat improved thanks to appropriate financial aids. The percentage of absence from schcool in the children affected by HIV/AIDS was mast obviously associated with the survival of their parents. The children affected by HIV/AIDS were psychologically stressed and depressed. Conclusion The impact of HIV/AIDS on children may be summarised as the following three aspects, living environment, the survival of the parents and physical ＆ psychological health of the children. There are significant difference in the above three factors between children affected by HIV/ AIDS and children free of HIV/AIDS.
