Asia Catalyst has announced the "public beta" launch of the Asian AIDS Law Database, a free online database of more than 100 HIV/AIDS-related statues from over 20 countries in Asia. The user interface is bilingual Chinese and English, although most of the content (the laws themselves) is available in only English.

According to Ken Oh, editor of Asia Report, the news site that hosts the database:

"The database will enable lawyers to analyze AIDS-related laws, and use them in their own advocacy. Asian AIDS activists tell us that some governments are more responsive to model language from another Asian law."
