KUALA TERENGGANU: More than 70% of the 87,710 HIV/AIDS sufferers in the country are Muslims, Malaysian AIDS Council vice-president Datuk Zaman Khan said.
Therefore, he said, the celebration for this year's World AIDS Day would emphasise efforts to enhance awareness on AIDS among Muslims.
He said what was more worrying was a report by the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS)on AIDS, which stated that nine Malaysians were infected with the disease every day.
Also of concern was the spread of the disease among women, from 9.5% in 2000 to 20% last year, he said, when speaking at a function to commemorate World AIDS Day here Tuesday night.
He said that in 2000, the main cause of women being infected with HIV/AIDS was drug addiction, but lately, it had been attributed to heterosexual sex (30%).
On HIV/AIDS sufferers in Terengganu, he said a total of 315 new cases were reported last year.
Kelantan recorded the highest number of HIV/AIDS cases at 596, followed by Pahang (431) and Selangor (378), he added. - Bernama

大馬婦女被感染愛滋病 - 丈夫不愛戴安全套
（吉隆坡19日訊）許多已婚男人進行性行為時，都不愛戴安全套！
吉隆坡愛滋支援服務社主席鄒旭雲指出，根據瞭解，不少男性結婚后，都不會穿戴安全套進行性行為。
“男人進行性行為時不戴安全套，可能與生理及心理需求有關。
“我也想套用皮膚和性病專家拿督劉明德醫生的一句話：沒理由沖涼要穿雨衣，來為這情況作解釋。”
鄒旭雲針對衛生部數據顯示，全國染上愛滋病病毒的1萬3600名女性當中，已婚婦女佔了8160人或60%，主要是因行房時丈夫未戴安全套，而受感染，接受《中國報》詢及時，發表談話。
擔心妻子起疑
他說，已婚婦女會感染愛滋病，其中原因包括：被感染愛滋病的丈夫傳染、婦女在婚前已感染愛滋病。
“有些已婚婦女婚前已感染愛滋病，但不知情，以為被丈夫傳染；婦女會感染愛滋病的其他原因，也可能跟從事的職業有關。”
鄒旭雲指出，感染愛滋病婦女，不一定是家庭主婦，有些都是職業婦女。
他補充，有些已婚男性都會有婚外情或一夜情，這是男性感染愛滋病的其中原因。
“已婚男性有婚外情及一夜情經驗，這是相當普遍情況，尤其是常需要應酬的男性，喝酒后有一夜情並不出奇。”
鄒氏說，有些已婚男性與其他女性有性經驗后，明白自己可能感染愛滋病的可能性，但回家與妻子進行性行為時，仍不願戴安全套。
“他們習慣不戴安全套，擔心偶爾戴安全套，令妻子起疑。”
鄒旭雲也勸告得知感染愛滋病的男女，必須在進行性行為時使用安全套，以免讓伴侶受感染。
他說，每年聖誕節這浪漫節日，不少男女喜歡把自己當成“禮物”送給伴侶，這些男女須做好安全措施，以免后悔莫及。
回教徒婚前愛滋檢驗
違反人權應再檢討
馬來西亞愛滋病理事會和myPlus認為，回教局強制推行回教徒婚前愛滋病檢驗計劃“弊多于利”，因此要求政府重新檢討。
他們認為，此計劃歧視和違反人權，以及侵犯個人隱私和自主權。
馬來西亞愛滋病理事會主席阿蒂芭博士今日發表文告說，在決定檢驗前，當局應考慮3C標準，即：同意（consent）、輔導（counselling）和保密（confidentially）。
他強調，柔佛在2001年推出此計劃時，曾受到婦女組織、衛生部和醫藥協會抨擊，但這回要在全國推行計劃前，當局也未向愛滋病組織或婦女提出諮詢。
阿蒂芭博士說，雖然其他種族未硬性規定要參與，但現有條例允許醫藥或宗教人員，把病情知會病患的另一伴或家人。
他指出，所有愛滋病檢驗呈陽性者，有必要接受專業醫藥人員輔導和協助通知病人家屬，強制性規定知會家人之舉，將會讓更多人拒絕接受檢驗。
此外，他們也認同回教局的保證，即一旦準新人被發現患有愛滋病，而另一伴仍同意繼續婚禮，婚禮便能繼續進行，這是為了確保愛滋病患結婚權益，但檢驗必須出于志願。
擁有數個性伴侶
卻不願定期檢驗
國內許多擁有數個性伴侶的男女，都不會定時進行愛滋病抗體檢驗，因為大家對感染愛滋病的認識仍不足。
不少男女認為，自己不會那么“幸運”感染愛滋病，一旦受勸前往檢驗時，也會猶豫不決，其中因素是由于害羞。
吉隆坡愛滋支援服務社主席鄒旭雲指出，不願意接受檢驗的其他原因，也包括他們不敢面對現實。
勿害羞拒檢驗
他接受《中國報》詢及時說，有些擁有不同性伴侶的男女，會質疑本身感染愛滋病的可能性，但也不願意接受檢驗。”
他說，可能有些會認為，驗或不驗，事實都無法改變，採取“等死”消極態度。
“其實，每名男女都不應有這種想法，應接受更多關于感染愛滋病的正確教育。
“我勸他們：在與固定性伴侶以外的伴侶進行性行為后，在3週的空窗期后，接受愛滋病抗體檢驗。”
鄒旭雲說，在性行為后的3週后檢驗，結果是沒有感染愛滋病都好，都不能太早下定論，而且必須在半年內再次接受檢驗。
“愛滋病病毒需要時間繁殖，有些人不會在3週內，就被驗出染上愛滋病。”
鄒氏也勸請未婚或已婚男女，不要對進行愛滋病抗體檢驗感到抗拒或害羞，因為任何病毒若能提早發現，就可及時接受治療。
“雖然感染愛滋病的事實無法改變，但及時發現可進行適當治療，延長壽命之余，也能繼續過正常人生活。”
鄒旭雲也說，許多醫院或診所都有提供驗血配套，此配套是可檢驗各種病症，包括愛滋病，價格約100令吉。
“普通驗血收費約30至40令吉，所以若不好意思開口驗愛滋病，可選擇驗各種病的驗血配套。”
丹州大部分愛滋病患
仍會選擇結婚
丹州衛生局主任麗拉妮蘭透露，該州內有許多愛滋病檢驗呈陽性的人士，依然選擇結婚。
她指出，今年州內接受愛滋病檢驗的準新人達2萬2000人，有38名準新人的愛滋病檢驗呈陽性，其中30人依然成婚，8人取消婚禮。
她說，該局不鼓勵愛滋病檢驗呈陽性者結婚，因為當中有很高的風險，惟該局只能告知他們當中的高風險，結不結婚由他們自行決定。
“即使他們了解有風險，但大部分人士還是選擇結婚。
吉隆坡愛滋支援服務社主席鄒旭雲指出，根據瞭解，不少男性結婚后，都不會穿戴安全套進行性行為。
“男人進行性行為時不戴安全套，可能與生理及心理需求有關。

AIDS is beside you
An interview with Infectious Diseases Physician Dr. Tan Lian Huat
Interviewed by: Lee Chee Siang
Edited: Ng Sock Cheng
Source by: berita ybam
In one sunny afternoon, I brought a small cake to the air-conditioned and comfortable Kuala Lumpur AIDS Support Services Society [KLASS] to conduct an interview with Dr. Tan Lian Huat on prevention and treatment of AIDS. I was feeling light and easy while stepping into the office. Six o’clock in the evening I left heavy-hearted with question marks in my mind: What else do I need to know and what else can I do . . . . .
Do not think that you are safe
Before the interview, my assumption over AIDS is this deadly disease “will never ever happen to me! “ I always thought that the anonymous AIDS patients are hidden and isolated at the corner of the hospital, as long as we do not go near them, we will be safe. AIDS is none of my business anyways!
However, during the interview, what Dr. Tan said awaken me: “Do not think that you are safe! Even if you are not a homosexual, drug addicts or involved in sexual misconduct”Do not think you are safe because your partner and you are practicing a healthy marriage relationship” “Do not think that you are safe there is no one with AIDS around you” What Dr. Tan said has undermined the thinking of “AIDS is none of my business” of many people. He said everyone will have a partner and have a sex life; therefore everyone stands an equal chance to be infected. Your partner might be loyal to you, you may not his or her first partner, or he or she may not be the first partner of their previous friends . . . . No one can be sure who is in absolute health and who is not . . . .
Further-more, the technological invention has enhanced our social life and making a lot more possibilities for inmate relationship. Young people have the sexual experience at an early stage nowadays. Unless you are well aware of the disease, you might be already at risk. Moreover, the disease may manifest for several years only after the initial infection. In 1986, the first AIDS case was discovered in Malaysia. 20 years later, we have 60,000 cases! If we compare the statistics of 2002 to 2001, the infected women have grown as much as 35%! What does the figure tell us?
This is alarming, said Dr. Tan. It tells is that AIDS no longer associated merely with the groups most affected like drug addicts or sex workers but have spread to the community. If one lacks of the right awareness, one may be infected even though he or she is living “normally”.
AIDS not only affected patient
Similar to high blood pressure, diabetes or cancer, AIDS patient is the first who get affected and then followed by their family members. Unlike other diseases, AIDS not only cause physical pain and mental suffering to the patient and the family, the biggest sorrow is the fear of being “ostracized” by the society!
The common response towards AIDS patient are: those who use the services of sex workers, being drug addicts or enduring physical pain preparing for an early death, the patients have to face the moral criticisms by the society and even the fear of losing their jobs! The most painful part is to face the queries and isolation from the people around them! Their families need to endure the same sorrow: discrimination and ostracism from the society, the risk of being affected, a betrayed husband who broke the heart of the wife, the ruin of a respectful father in front of his children, and the miserable parents who have to face with criticisms of relatives. . . .
As such, when the fear of being discriminated, stigmatised and ostracised arose, most patients chose to remain anonymous so that their position in the society is protected. But, it is the concealment that causes the bigger damages: the continued unsafe sexual relationship between the couple may cause another infection without early detection; the fear of being discovered causes one to tell more lies; more excuses to cover the frequent visits to the physician; and the fear of being discovered limits one’s chance of getting more and better treatments. Whether revealed or not, the patients seem to be at the losing end. They have lost the purpose of life and constantly feel lonely.
Your respect will help them live a new life
In Malaysia, especially the Chinese community, support and assistance leave much to be desired. The government only provides medical treatment and subsidy but are doing minimally in helping to reconstruct the confidence of the patients and their families. So do the community. Is there anything we can do under such undesirable condition? Even a simple care and respect can encourage them to live on, said Dr. Tan.
And to respect, we must understand first. AIDS patients choose to disguise themselves due to the fear of discrimination. And discrimination comes from misunderstanding. Only when the public is well-informed on this disease then will look at it in a positive way, and realise that AIDS is not synonymous to drug addicts or homosexuals. Only with this understanding, the public should be aware that everyone stands an equal chance to be infected. Knowing this, we should provide support and loving care to them like any other patients without imposing any moral criticism. Let’s treat them as any other patients, and that’s all they want.
Sex education, the crucial point in AIDS prevention and treatment
At the moment, the “Cocktail therapy” or highly active antiretroviral therapy is the effective way to treat AIDS. However the crucial point should be on sex education. Dr. Tan definition on sex education is: It is not simply the biology class to know about our bodies or the relationship between the genders, the ultimate concern in sexual education is to let ones to manage their emotions in a proper way. Due to the lack of such education, most people, regardless of whether teenager, adults or the aged, do not protect themselves properly during sexual relationship and this increase their exposure to AIDS. However, although the implementation of sex education is rather slow in the country, we are glad that government has started to draft the syllabus for sex education in recent years will be taught at the lower secondary school.

As an Volunteer,
For the past few month, I could said most of us are extremely tired, due to the tight schedule of events and training that SAGA had organised, but what make us so committed to serve since we are not been paid a single cent or goodies to be bring home let me share my own experience with you. I join SAGA with special intention just to secure some SALES from the rest of the fellow volunteers and further more I don’t know what is HIV/AIDS really mean, anyway who cares.
After a few months later, I received a call from our President Dr. Zaiton she was mentioned to me there is a “Resourse Person Training” which organised by Malaysia AIDS Council, and the training fall on weekend so I agreed to go.
It is a turning point for me, when I really started to learn what is the true meaning of HIV/AIDS is, and I learn a-lot of jargon example like SW, TS, PLHIV & MSM, It is fun, if you really learn and serve the way is suppose to be and I enjoyed the fellowship with other fellow volunteers, we can really work together, even we are all from different backgrounds, races, religions and working environment.
I‘m sure if we serve our community with love, care, commitment and serve with pride (Khimat dengan Bangga) we will live to see the result as expected, I also take these opportunity to expressed my sincere appreciation to Dr. Zaiton who have encouraged and support me through my service in SAGA.
Today I serve as an Exco member and Head of I. T. and Multimedia unit with-in Sandakan AIDS Support Group Association, proud to be a part of SAGA. So what about you, Are you ready to be part of us ?

40%為主婦‧女性愛滋病患增加
（雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也）衛生部長拿督廖中萊披露，大馬染上愛滋病的女性已從1997年的5.02%增加至去年的16.3%，其中40%的愛滋病帶病毒者是家庭主婦。
研究方案保護女性 他指出，為了避免染上愛滋病的女性繼續增加，衛生部已指示成立特別委員會，專門研究世界衛生組織各項預防及保護女性免受愛滋病迫害的策略及機制。
“委員會將在短期內研究所有可行的方案，並在明年4月之前完成研究報告。”廖中萊今日（週二，12月16日）在雙威鎮度假酒店出席“2008年世界愛滋病日”開幕儀式後表示，截至去年杪衛生部數據顯示，全馬共有8萬3537人染上愛滋病，雖然新病例已從2003年的6756宗下降至今年的3452宗，但女性患者卻不降反升。他說，75%染上愛滋病的女性年齡介於20至39歲，60%是已婚者，而70%是通過異性性交染上愛滋病。高風險人士速檢驗“女性患者中60%是已婚者，足以顯示女性對愛滋病沒有足夠的知識與預防意識。”他也促請所有屬於高風險群的國人自動到附近的政府診所及醫院接受免費的愛滋病檢驗，及早接受治療。
