Raising Awareness of AIDS
Even though the prevalence of HIV/AIDS infection rates in Cambodia has shown a
decrease since last year's records of 2.8% to 2.6%, it is regarded as a substancial
number considering the relatively small population of Cambodia. There are significant
numbers of orphans and chronically ill as a result of AIDS, with the death rate
statistics also being of concern. There is no doubt that this issue requires an
extraordinary intervention with support and care for all involved.

To contribute toward the eradication of HIV/AIDS impact among the vulnerable
communities, CVD - with the support of Khana organization - organized a special
event at a local boat racing contest which was held on November 1st
2004. The main purpose of this important event was to raise public knowledge
and awareness of HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and to
reduce stigmatization and discrimination of people living with HIV/AIDS.
