HIV remains a threat amid rise in cases, PM Hun Sen cautions Asia News Network (ANN) is the leading regional alliance of news titles striving to bring the region closer, through an active sharing of editorial content on happenings in the region.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned that HIV infections remain a threat in Cambodia, as he noted an increase of 300 new cases in 2022 over the previous year. The infection rate was described as highest among men who have sex with men (MSM).
A senior Ministry of Information official has refuted as “incorrect” a statement made by the Cambodian Centre for Human Right (CCHR) which asserted that independent media in Cambodia has been “targeted”. The rebuttal was made by Ministry of Information spokesperson Meas Sophorn following a statement issued by CCHR on April 27 in the run-up to World Press Freedom Day on May 13.
