A new government campaign in Laos is targeting HIV/Aids high risk group of transgender males called Katheoys. According to a report by the BBC, a government survey last year showed 5.6% of men have sex with other men, a number which is considered high in Laos. The katheoy culture is vibrant but stigmas attached make it hard for the group to find employment.
