World AIDS Day 2009

World AIDS Day 2009 marked the end of a decade that has produced significant gains against the epidemic across Asia.  Events in the region included  (from top): student visits to the Batu Arang Shelter Home for people living with HIV/AIDS in Malaysia; an information fair about HIV/AIDS at Bangkok’s Srinigarind Hospital; and outreach such as a World AIDS Day screen saver in Malaysia.
