  • UNGASS Country Progress Report – Cambodia - "New estimates of HIV prevalence in Cambodia were released following calculations and modelling performed by a team of national and international experts at Cambodia’s Consensus Workshop on HIV Estimates and Projections in June 2007. The new estimates show that HIV prevalence among adults aged 15 to 49 decreased to 0.9% in 2006 from a revised estimate of 1.2% in 2003. Projections indicate that, if interventions are sustained at current levels, HIV prevalence will further decline before stabilising at 0.6% by 2011. However, a resurgence of the epidemic cannot be ruled out as there is a risk of a second-wave of HIV infections among most-at-risk populations, including female sex workers, their clients and other sexual partners, men who have sex with men (MSM) and injecting drug users (IDUs). Based on the new HIV prevalence estimates and projections, the number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) was estimated at 64,750 (including 3,350 children under the age of 15) in 2007. Approximately 29,200 adults were in need of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and this number is expected to increase to 35,100 by 2010."
