HIV prevention highlighted by NAA on Valentine’s Day
The National AIDS Authority (NAA) took Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to educate the general public about HIV/AIDS prevention, especially among young people and those with same-sex partners.
NAA chairman Ieng Moly said on February 14 that Cambodia had largely succeeded in preventing the spread of HIV. And in the Asia-Pacific region, the Kingdom is in the lead of providing services and treatment for people living with HIV, when compared to Indonesia, China and Thailand.
He called on youths, especially men who have sex with men (MSM), to protect against HIV on Valentine’s Day, as the number of people in same-sex relationships is on the rise. He said that in 2010, there were an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 openly MSM in the Kingdom, but now there are nearly 100,000.
“We must work hard to prevent the further spread of HIV and must reduce it. There are currently nearly 100,000 people who are not receiving treatment. This constitutes a real risk to our society,” he said.

Re: HIV prevention highlighted by NAA on Valentine’s Day
Nearly 100,000 MSM, and coincidentally nearly 100,000 people not receiving treatment- treatment for what? Presumably for HIV.
Is this purely a coincidental number; an unfortunate foot in the mouth comment, courtesy of a poorly worded press release; or a demonstration of a prejudicial viewpoint?We must work hard to prevent the further spread of HIV and must reduce it. There are currently nearly 100,000 people who are not receiving treatment. This constitutes a real risk to our society,” he said.
