I will think this is just another clever statistics. Heck Utusan even highlighted people getting medicine to prevent the infection as bad.

Not end game lah actually. HIV now is categorised as chronic (macam diabetes), and not fatal like last time. Sample still fatal are tetanus, polio, diphtheria etc.

Of course the patients must take the medication religiously -- only 2 pills every night. With the correct medication, after a duration the viral load can become 0 that the person becomes not infectious (the wonder of modern medicine) -- but he/she better not skipping the medicine.

I think in Malaysia, the negative stigma (from religion mostly and cultures) plays the biggest hindrance to the health of the victims. Many will only seek help when in late stages -- still can help but you will suffer the great unnecessary pain.

So please get test regularly if you are in a risky group, gay or straight. Get medication early.

You see gay guys have to have sex in secrets. And since it is secret, no one will know if you have 1000 sex partners. The more sex partners you have, the higher chance you will get infection (if you don't practice safe sex). Straight guys usually won't have that many sex partners (I say usually).

And now recreational drugs are getting very popular among gay guys (again since it is a secret). Once you are under drug, you won't think about safe sex liao.
