More students having HIV

Star: THERE is an increase in the number of tertiary students infected with HIV due to casual sex, said Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek.
Nanyang Siang Pau quoted Dr Chua as saying that many youngsters thought the chances of them contracting the disease through one-night stands were very slim and thus, did not use protection.
Dr Chua said 73,000 people had contracted the disease currently, with an average of 19 people infected with HIV daily in Malaysia.
China Press quoted Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen as saying that women should insist their husbands use condoms if they suspected their husbands had other partners.
She said this was to prevent them from contracting HIV from unfaithful husbands.
