AKP Phnom Penh, July 09, 2020 --

In Asia and the Pacific, Cambodia is one of the three countries that have achieved the 90–90–90 HIV treatment targets with a minimum of 73 percent of people living with HIV having suppressed viral loads, according to UNAIDS’ report on the global AIDS epidemic.

Beside Cambodia, the other two nations are Australia and Thailand, the same source pointed out.

Thousands of lives and new infections have been saved by the scale-up of antiretroviral therapy. However, 160,000 people died of AIDS-related illnesses last year and 3.5 million of the 5.8 million people living with HIV were accessing the life-saving treatment.

The region is far behind in preventing new HIV infections. Some 300,000 people were newly infected with the virus. There has been progress in the region, where new HIV infections have reduced by 12 percent since 2010, with reductions in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. However new HIV infections are on the rise in Pakistan and the Philippines.

In Cambodia, female members of the Antiretroviral Users Association maintained their counselling services for their peers during the lockdown.
