International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Day

With 10 new cases each day in Malaysia, there is a great need to ensure we have access to information and services on HIV and AIDS. In conjunction with the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Day, the Kuala Lumpur AIDS Support Services Society (KLASS) organised a fundraising dinner recently. We find out from our guests about the response from that event from Andrew Tan and and Bakhtiar Talhah. 

For more information, you can reach out to KLASS at www.klass.org.my or info@klass.org.my. If you'd like to know more about the LUWWY project (MSM testing service using Case Management approach), you can contact them at luwwy@klass.org.my. Also, Andrew Tan can be reached at myplus.org.my@gmail.com, and you can find the Penang Family Health Development Association (Penang FHDA) at www.fhdapenang.org.
