Similarly to global efforts, prevention of HIV transmission is the core strategic intervention to combat HIV/AIDS in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Contracting HIV could be happened to any individual at any age, place, and time without exception if not self-protected. As ever, sexual transmission remains major mode of new HIV infection without proper using of condom. We could not identify who is HIV carrier if blood test has not been done. It is self-obligation to avoid HIV infection by 100% using condom use.
Above is the valuable message of H.E. Senior Minister to public, compatriots and youth in the inauguration session on the afternoon of November 1, 2017 at the National AIDS Authority (NAA) for HIV/AIDS Education Campaign during water festival celebrated from November 2 to 4, 2017.
To refresh messaging on HIV/AIDS education and prevention: Not to have HIV infected at any place, any time with any person, NAA`s working group in cooperation with Samdech Techo Volunteer Youth Doctor Association (THYDA), KHNANA, RHAC, PSK, MHSS, MHC and SMART Girls organized public awareness campaign activities including concert and distribution of leaflets, brochure, T-shirts and condoms bearing HIV prevention messages to boat racers, goers and youth.
Do not let HIV infect you!
Do not take HIV home!
You could forget HIV but HIV never forgets you!
If suspected get tested!
