Over 1 million Thais are infected with HIV/AIDs

 

BANGKOK, 18 March 2012 (NNT) - The Public Health Ministry reports that the number of HIV/AIDs patients in Thailand is on the rise with over 1 million patients currently.

 

At the annual HIV/AIDs conference held in Chiang Mai, Public Health Minister Wittaya Buranasiri disclosed that HIV/AIDs is an incurable chronic disease of which more than 1 million patients have been reported to be infected.

 

According to Mr. Wittaya , 25 percent of the total diagnosed patients are in the working group aged between 30-34. While unprotected sex is the major risk factor which accounts for as high as 84 percent, premature and unprotected sex among secondary school and vocational students is becoming more of a problem.

 

The Public Health Minister added that this year the National Health Security Office (NHSO) has set nearly 3 billion baht as a budget for HIV/AIDs care and treatment while planning to increase the budget to 3.5 billion baht for next year.

Now think about this. If you remove the people >60 and <18, what % you get? And what % it should be on Walking Street?

And think more... these are the people that are currently on treatment. How many who are not treated and just infected without knowing it?

Condoms, condoms, condoms...

Why don't BMs read the previous posts before starting on a new topic? This is the third post I have seen on this topic today. It just makes it harder to follow.
