For the past few weeks, posters and advertisements with attention-grabbing headlines may have caught the eye of many Malaysians. This campaign is part of efforts to enlighten the public about the plight of people with HIV/AIDS, writes Colin Khoo 

THE headlines read: “Six-month old baby denied last rites and burial” and “Woman fired because of skin colour”. The reports that follow reveal that both the baby and woman were victims of HIV discrimination.
