Phnom Penh - A Cambodian man has been stabbed by a sex worker in a brawl, after he refused her request to wear a condom, police said on Friday.
Suon Da, 25, was knifed twice in the abdominal area by Sa Rida, a 24-year-old sex worker, during the fight at a brothel in Battambang province on Wednesday, said Koam Roeuy, a deputy police chief from the area.
Koam Roeuy said Suon Da had paid Sa Rida 5 000 riel ($1.20) to have sex with her. But after Suon Da repeatedly refused to wear a condom, Sa Rida gave up and left the room.
Suon Da chased after her, demanding his money back and slapping the woman, Koam Roeuy said. Sa Rida responded by stabbing Suon Da in the stomach, he said.
"The woman was trying to prevent the transmission of diseases such as HIV," Koam Roeuy said. "But now it will be up to the court to decide her fate after she inflicted injuries on another person."
Sa Rida remains in police custody pending possible charges against her.
Suon Da is being treated at a hospital in Battambang province, about 250km northwest of the capital Phnom Penh.
Cambodia has an HIV infection rate of 1.9% for people aged 15-49, among the highest in Southeast Asia.
Comprehensive education campaigns, including widespread condom use in brothels, has helped reduce the infection rate from three percent in 1997, according to the Cambodian government.

Well done despite the fact that she will be condemned by the courts.
He was asking for it.

It is self defense.
I do not condopne violence, but the court must weight that by not wearing a condom is equal to using a gun to kill her by an AIDS virus.
So, she is not guilty.
Even a hooker is afraid to die from AIDS and it her right to protect her life including stabbing the S.O.B!
Who give the right to this S.O.B to play Russian Roulette with other people life?
If I were a hooker I would do the same!
She should be a Cambodian
ROSA PARK for defending her right as a woman.
PM Hun SEn , if you really respect the right of Cambodian woman , you should give her an amenesty and you should give her $5000.00 dollars as you promised to denate to anyone who get gold medal for Cambodia.
Next time use meat clever to cut that damn thing off. Let learn the lesson not to spread the desease.
