Cambodia: Asia’s Highest HIV Rate
"The first case of HIV infection in Cambodia was reported in 1991 and this was followed by a rapid rise in transmission. Cambodia’s national HIV prevalence rate is now the highest in Asia."
"Cambodia is a country comprised of desocialized people where pre-marital sex, drug abuse and ignorance of the disease set a real challenge for the future development of the nation," says Thomas De Cian in his photo reportage, Cambodia: Asia’s Highest HIV Rate.
