You may want to categorize health problem as one of social issue. HIV is a serious problem and it becomes increasingly worrying when it is reported that HIV infection in Kelantan is four times the national average.
It is national concern that it is vital for us to curb with this HIV problems. The infection rate must be reduced as much as we can. This HIV problem does create an unhealthy society and if we look in another angle, it may reflect how socially problematic our nation is. We don't want this image.
Government is keep on working to deal with this issue.
But the what's the role on our part as individuals? The best we can do is to always regulate our life and never get involve in the activities which will expose us to HIV infection. Observe our family members as well and on part of parents, they must prepare the best education including relihious education to the children.
In the mean time, if you have friends or relatives who are infected with HIV, don't let them alone and down. Support them and lead them to the right path. What had done is done and they need our courage to go on with their live.
In support of humanity!

He added that the manual had information on prevention of drug abuse, treatment, support, counseling, discrimination and other relevant knowledge for Muslims.
