Li Hu

Li Hu (; (born August 27, 1974 – August 6, 2014) is the pseudonym of a Chinese HIV/AIDS activist. He died from complications from AIDS at the age of 40.

Li Hu was diagnosed with HIV on June 10, 2006, and later that year founded the HIV/AIDS advocacy group Tianjin Haihe Star AIDS Working Group that he formed as a support organization for those living with HIV/AIDS.

Li was famously known for helping a man living with HIV, Xiao Feng , obtain surgery to treat his lung cancer after being previously denied because of his HIV status. Li helped Xiao modify his medical records so he could get treatment then publicized his efforts on Weibo to draw attention to the unfair treatment of Chinese people living with HIV. This drew further national attention, even resulting in Li meeting with Vice Premier Li Keqiang who later "pledged greater support and tax breaks for HIV/AIDS organizations, an expansion of free drug treatment for people with the disease and protection of patients from discrimination at hospitals."
