We need to take a softer approach to win their confidence before advising them on the risks on HIV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot do this alone as it is a multi-agency effort,\u201d he said, adding that it will be working with the state religious affairs department as well as relevant NGOs.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Dr Mohammad said there has been a continuous drop in HIV transmission via intravenous drug use. From 292 cases reported in 2010, the number of cases have dropped to 44 in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Mohammad said this could be due to the department\u2019s harm reduction programme, which includes methadone treatment as well as a needles exchange programme for drug users.
