> The World Health Organisation estimates that 10 million men have sex with
> men (MSM) in Asia - the highest number for any region in the world.
>
> But the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reports that
> health care programmes and services reaches just 1 per cent of this
> population.
>
> In HCM City the number practising MSM is estimated at 48,000 with 5,3 per
> cent HIV infected. The number in Haø Noäi is put at 26,000 and 9,4 per cent
> infected.
>
> Less than 10 per cent of these men in both cities use or have access to the
> health services.
>
> The low number means the danger of HIV/AIDS transmission is much greater.
>
> But why is it happening? Is it the result of stigma and discrimination
> against gay men? And how could we change it?
