Language: English

Short Summary:

Since the beginning, HIV epidemic in Malaysia has been driven by injecting drug use, increasingly in recent years also by sexual transmission among key populations and their intimate sexual partners, including people who inject drugs, sex workers, men who have sex with men and transgender persons. The share of new infections through sexual transmission has increased to close to 80% of the annual total by 2014. The epidemic is still concentrated in key populations, not spread to general population, as indicated by the low level HIV detection in routine premarital and antenatal testing.
