PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- head Buddhist monk, a novice and a layman are among those people who were infected with HIV/AIDS in Roka commune in Sangke district, Battambang province. 

Hundreds of villagers in Roka commune have flocked to have their blood tested since December 8. 

As of Wednesday this week, 775 villagers had their blood tested for the virus. 106 of them were confirmed to have been infected with HIV/AIDS. 

Cause of HIV outbreak has not been officially revealed so far though a physician who is suspected of spreading the virus was arrested for few days ago. 

Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, along with Health Minister Mam Bunheng, visited the villagers in Roka commune today [Saturday], and appealed to them to stay calm. 

The Ministry of Health, with support from several international organizations have conducted investigation into a number of HIV cases which have occurred among villagers in Roka commune of northwest Cambodia's Battambang province.

The ministry has been conducting the probe with the support of WHO, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, UNAIDS, UNICEF and Pasteur Institute in Cambodia, said a joint statement released by WHO and the Cambodian health ministry.

Begin of Drgunzet's comment.

Oh my God, what a sad race Khmer is. What a terrible country Cambodia is. Let's replace the Khmer race with some better race to make Cambodia better.

Don't you feel sorry for that little girl in the picture. She born dumb, inherit inferior genes from her Khmer parents. She has dark-skin, a big turn off. (I was born with a beautiful light-skin. When I was a kid, other Asian parents were giving my mother compliments, "Ooooh, your son has such a beautiful light skin, just like yours.")

And now she also has AIDS. How much more suffering will she get? I bet when she grows up, she is likely to be raped by other Khmer men. And when the men found out they got AIDS from her, despite her waring "Don't rape me, I have AIDS.", the men will get mad and beat her up.

Stupid Khmer rapists, you are so troublesome. I really want to replace the Khmer race with better races. Let say, how about Swedes, or Germans? Cambodia will be a better country with Germans and Swedes living there instead of the Khmer.

What you're saying is reflecting your behavior or reflecting on your own mother's story told the story of gooks whose raped your mother despite she pleads for them to stop those gooks won't stop and beaten her up and raped her and you're the result/product of the rapists-gooks in the jungle during gook-American war in the 70's.

The world didn't needs to know you personally we only read what you're writting we understood who you really were,you're an offspring of your own writting words [offpsring of rapist] thatwise you are the low among the low!...

It's a big problem in Khmer culture. I remember KI Media reported that 4 in every 10 adults males have raped at least once last year. Do we have anything in common with India?
