Phnom Penh: HIV/AIDS killed about 1,000 people in Cambodia in 2024, down 9 percent from 1,100 in a year earlier, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has said.
In a message dated Wednesday and released to the media on Friday, Hun Manet said the Southeast Asian country recorded roughly 1,200 new HIV infections in 2024, a decrease of 20 percent from 1,500 in 2023.
He said the kingdom currently has approximately 76,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, of which 71,716 have received antiretroviral drugs.
"Despite this achievement, more than 4,000 people were still unaware that they were infected with HIV, and had not yet received antiretroviral drugs," he said in the message, which was issued to commemorate the upcoming World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.
The prime minister said the kingdom is committed to reducing new HIV infections to just more than 200 cases and fatalities to less than 200 cases per year.
