The China Daily newspaper said the clinic which opened in the Chinese capital of Beijing, will offer free check-ups and treatment to people afflicted with AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases including syphilis, gonorrhea and genital herpes.
The newspapers said the clinic will keep the identity of its patients secret, to encourage more people to visit the facility.
Xiao Dong, head of the non-governmental Chaoyan Chinese AIDS Volunteer Group said, "As China marches on, so do its medical services. We hope this program will underline the common medical rights enjoyed by gays."
The highly conservative society of China has prevented people infected with AIDS and STD to come forward, which is seen by experts as the reason for the spread of the problem.
As of 2005, there were an estimated 650,000 suffering of AIDS in China.
The report said over 500 people visited the clinic on its first day of operations. The clinic also gave patients a mobile phone card worth $6.40 to compensate for their transportation.
Xiao said official health officials are funding the clinic. They are also planning to set up similar clinics in three community hospitals in Beijing, he added.
