THE Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) should urgently address the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases among tertiary students in Malaysia arising from same-sex relationships, Dr Daroyah Alwi said.

The Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) women’s wing chief said the ministry should set up a task force to study this supposed trend in greater detail and find out the reasons students are engaged in gay sex as well as their awareness of contraceptive use.
