Chong Kun-khum has lived in Taiwan for over a decade. Originally from Malaysia he tested positive for HIV in 2023, causing his life to change overnight.
“The cost of medication, legal status, health insurance and regulations constantly remind us that we don’t belong here,” Chong told TaiwanPlus News.
While the government has worked to reduce cases and provide HIV-positive foreign residents with medication, the high cost of treatment has only added to their difficulties.
