Patients of venereal disease, a sexually contagious disease, usually shy away from regular hospitals. They would prefer buying medicines secretly for their disease without seeing a doctor simply because they didn't want others to know their disease, but only to delay the best time for cure. They can put aside such misgivings at the supermarket-style clinic. In Tianjin Hospital for Infectious Diseases, they can make their own choice as how to get treated according to his or her disease and ability to pay.
