Gay men in Asia Pacific are denied HIV/AIDS care

A joint report published by the UNDP and the Asia Pacific Coalition on Male Sexual Health revealed that 90% of gay men in Asia can't get HIV/AIDS support even if they want to. 19 out of 48 countries in the Asia Pacific region have criminal laws against gay male sex; it can earn you the death penalty in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, or get you whipped in Malaysia and parts of Indonesia. In Thailand and India, condoms have been confiscated because they're seen as evidence of illegal activity. In China and Singapore, education materials on HIV/AIDS are censored.
