PHNOM PENH, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia is preparing to hand out 450,000 condoms during annual water festival that will kick off on Saturday, an official from National Aids Authority said.
Sim Kimsan, director of communication of National Aids Authority said Thursday that 450,000 condoms will be handed out to happy goers during the three-day water festival that will start from Saturday until Monday.
He said the main target for condoms hand outs will be the boaters, their companions, and other considered risk people who are flocking into the city as happy goers during the festival.
The government report showed that as of June this year, there were 40,039 people living with HIV/AIDS who received the anti- retroviral drugs, among them 3,881 were children.
Cambodia has been recognized in the region as a success story for having significantly reduced its HIV prevalence rate.
New estimates show that HIV prevalence among adults aged 15 to 49 has decreased to an estimated 0.7 percent in 2009 from 2 percent in 1998.
According to the government report, in 2002, there were 250 Cambodians received ARV, 1,700 people in 2003 and 8,500 in 2005.
Nearly everyone who is HIV positive is receiving the AIDS treatment they need due the efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia and its development partners.
Water Festival is the biggest and annual event which every year millions of Cambodians, especially, those from rural areas are coming to the city to enjoy the boat race.
For this year, 420 boats were registered for the boat race and the boaters are numbered at 27,734, according to National Committee for National and International Festivals.
The 1,700-meter boat race is held on the four faces of Mekong River and other two rivers in the capital.

What about green penis plant..cambodian just discover? Aids will not has affect on this green penis plant?
Watch out, this may also be the opportunity for the enenmy to systematically provided the AIDS infected condoms to Khmer as part of their plans as ethnic clansing
OMG, Here we go again! I'm so disguised and disappointed! WTF? Distribute condoms during the water festival is sending mix messages, especially to the teens. It clearly encourages teens to have more sex. Which is not a Cambodian culture.
shame, shame and shame!!!!!!!!!!
I suggest they rename this festival to: Sex orgy Festival
Khmer are making the United Nations happy. The more free sex they engage in the more likely-hood they contract aids and die to rid off earth over population. We are destroy ourselves without moral and self-control.

that's a lot of sex during the holiday!
