Doctor in the House: Are HIV Rates Going Up Among Malaysian Youths?

It was recently reported in the Dewan Negara that we’ve been seeing an uptick in the number of new HIV cases among our university students aged between 18 and 25. So on today’s show, we want to find out just how concerning are the numbers and, more importantly, what kind of stigma still exists surrounding HIV among Malaysian youths? To unpack this, consultant urologist Dr George Lee is joined by Dr Afiqah Mohd Salleh, senior lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine in Universiti Malaya and she is also with the Centre of Excellence for Research in AIDS.
