PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Six men have been chosen to help raise awareness about the dangers of AIDS in Cambodia, an official said July1. They were elected from 11 candidates fielded by local health organizations Friday, said Chuop Sok Chamroeun, a program officer of Khana, a nonprofit Cambodian group working to promote awareness about HIV/AIDS. He said they would become “one voice representing MSM in Cambodia,” using the term men who have sex with men. Chuop said his group has been working with more than 3,000 gay men in three Cambodian provinces, but condom use and knowledge about dangers of unprotected sex are very low. A reported published by the Washington-based Policy Project in 2004 warned that many gay men in Cambodia also have sex with women, and could therefore be serving as a bridge group of HIV transmission to the general population.
