    Thai HIV response faces setback

    Oped, Published on 21/02/2023

    » Thailand was a model for how a country should respond to the HIV epidemic. Whenever there was an HIV innovation -- whether it be a drug or a behavioural approach -- Thailand would be one of the first countries to adopt it. This began with the 100% Condom Programme in the early 1990s and continued all the way to 2016, when WHO declared that Thailand was the first country in Asia to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of both HIV and syphilis, an impressive feat many countries are still hard-pressed to mimic. Thailand became one of the first middle-income countries in 2014 to embrace pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by supporting community-based organisations (CBOs) to test key populations, such as men who have sex with men and transgendered individuals, for HIV and provide this critical drug to them.

    Oped, Published on 27/07/2022

    » Last year, world leaders came together at the United Nations in New York and agreed on a groundbreaking Political Declaration on HIV and Aids. That plan takes on the inequalities that drive the pandemic and will dramatically reduce new HIV infections and Aids-related deaths by 2025 and end the Aids pandemic as a global health threat by 2030 -- if world leaders fulfil it. But the world -- especially the Asia and Pacific region -- is not on track.
