Southeast Asia

With the impending rise of HIV/AIDS among Southeast Asian women and the possibility that more clinical trials will take place in this region, the Global Campaign is prioritising efforts to build on a nascent microbicides advocacy movement in several Southeast Asian countries.

The Global Campaign partnered with the Asian Pacific Council of AIDS Service Organisations (APCASO), a regional network based in Malaysia, to do a mapping exercise on the prospects for microbicides advocacy in three countries (Thailand, Philipipines, and Malaysia).
