Cambodia: Summary Country Profile for HIV/AIDS Treatment Scale-Up. WHO (2005)Cambodia has a generalized epidemic and one of the highest prevalence rates in Asia. Following a peak of 3% in 1997, prevalence rates among people 15–49 years old declined to 2.1% in 2002 and to 1.9% in 2003 (HIV sentinel surveillance, Ministry of Health/National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Infections (NCHADS)). The Ministry of Health/NCHADS estimate that 123 100 people were living with HIV/AIDS in Cambodia in 2003, with women accounting for almost 50%.
