Abstract:
Over the past 15 years, Thailand has experienced the worst HIV/AIDS epidemic in Asia. A strong society-wide response has substantially reduced the number of new HIV infections and has mobilized a wide range of resources to care for individuals and families affected by the epidemic. Yet today there is concern that Thailand is relaxing its guard against HIV/AIDS. Young people may be at a particularly high risk from a resurgence of new infections.
