Malaysia was chosen because its Government implemented policies that make this country a role model for the region. After the introduction of a National HR programme in 2005, ID users are accounting at 30% of new infections today (compared to 60% a decade ago)! This country is experiencing a consistent downward trend in the annual rate of new HIV cases (from 28,5 in 2002 to 11,7 in 2012 per 100 000 population).
Actually, almost in all the Asian countries rates of new HIV infections are decreasing or stable.
So, Malaysia paved the way in harm reduction, Thailand in safe sex, but Cambodia managed to combine the two. Cambodia is on track to become one of the few countries in the world to successfully reverse its HIV epidemic and eliminate new infections by 2020.
