Malaysia: good to know
- Legal & safety. Human Dignity Trust reports that Malaysia's federal Penal Code criminalises same-sex sexual activity (sections 377A, 377B and 377D), with penalties of up to twenty years' imprisonment and whipping, that state Sharia laws also apply to Muslims, that the gender expression of trans people is criminalised, and that these laws are enforced.Community-endorsed Human Dignity Trust· 19 Sep 2026
- PEP in this country. The Malaysian AIDS Council says PEP must be started within 72 hours of a possible exposure. It lists free PrEP through government clinics (in Penang, Klinik Kesihatan Butterworth) and partner organisations, and says private clinics and pharmacies also supply PrEP on prescription. It does not say whether foreign visitors qualify for the free programme.Community-endorsed Malaysian AIDS Council· 19 Sep 2026
