CaptionNhan (25), a former se-worker from Vietnam, lives in Phnom Penh. She has Aids. Cambodia is facing the worst HIV epidemic in Asia. In 1991, less than one in a 1,000 healthy young men donating blood in Phnom Penh tested positive. By 1994, that had risen to one in 30. In places, up to 90 percent of se-workers are infected.
