The Government of Cambodia realizes that HIV/AIDS is an urgent priority because this disease is causing an increasing public health, economic and social problem for the whole country. The main route of transmission of HIV/AIDS is occuring through sexual intercourse between men and women. Men play the bridging role by infecting their wives, babies and other partners where they get from HIV infected women. Since HIV/AIDS has transmitted in an alarming rate, the main strategy to response to the epidemic is to prevent people from getting infected because so far there is no cure for this disease. The 100% condom use is promulgated as a national policy and shall be applied in all brothels and sex establishment to ensure the safety of sex services.
