Short Bio:

Wan Yanhai (; born 20 November 1963) is a Chinese-American AIDS activist. His "frank and aggressive" approach toward AIDS has led to frequent run-ins with authorities, including a month-long detention in 2002 that made international headlines and sparked a successful international campaign for his release. Wan has won numerous human rights awards and is a former Fulbright Fellow and 2003 Yale University Global Fellow.

Wan is currently the director of the country's foremost AIDS-awareness group, the Beijing-based Aizhixing Institute of Health Education. Wan has lived in the United States since 2010, and became an American citizen in 2018.
