Writer and activist Hendri Yulius who from January-June this year worked with the Aids Council of New South Wales (ACON) to collect data about the sexual health of gay Asian men in New South Wales, talks about the increased incidence of HIV among gay men of Asian background in Australia and among gay men in Indonesia.


How can we explain the increase in cases of HIV among gay men of Asian background in Australia? Why is accessing PReP a problem for many gay Asian men in Australia?  What makes the situation even more complex in Indonesia?  Hendri Yulius discusses the trends and their causes.
