Thai Health Ministry launches ambitious anti Aids programme

The Public Health Ministry and its allies are implementing many measures to achieve the goals of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero Aids related deaths.

“For example, we have provided 16 to 30 hours of sex education to students each year. We have also provided friendly services to people in at risk groups including sex workers and homosexual men,” Public Health Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said Wednesday.

The three targets are in line with the guidelines set by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids.
