Cambodia: Sex Work and HIV/AIDS. HIV and AIDS Data Hub for Asia-Pacific (2010)

Cambodia: Sex Work and HIV/AIDS. HIV and AIDS Data Hub for Asia-Pacific (2010)Cambodia is internationally recognized for having successfully reduced its HIV prevalence among the general population from about 3% in 1997 to 0.7% in 2009. Sex work played a significant role in the spread of the HIV epidemic during the nineties. Since 1999, HIV prevalence has declined among direct and indirect sex workers, although levels remain high. The 100% condom use promotion strategy has been credited for having played a major role in the decline of HIV.
