World AIDS Day 2022: Equalising Access in Malaysia

It is World AIDS Day today, and this year’s theme is “equalise”, one word that serves to remind us of the inequalities which continue to perpetuate the AIDS epidemic. If we want to end AIDS as a public health threat in Malaysia, those gaps will have to be closed. We speak to Raymond Tai, Acting Chief Operating Officer at PT Foundation, to find out how we can improve access to tests and treatments for high-risk communities, and end the stigmatisation of people living with HIV.
