Before the scale-up of the international response to the AIDS pandemic, community responses in developing countries played a crucial role in providing services and care for those affected. This study is the first comprehensive, mixed-method evaluation of the impact of that response. The evaluation finds that community response can be effective at increasing knowledge of HIV, promoting social empowerment, increasing access to and use of HIV services, and even decreasing HIV incidence, all through the effective mobilization of limited resources. By effectively engaging with this powerful community structure, future HIV and AIDS programs can ensure that communities continue to contribute to the global response to HIV and AIDS.

| Six provinces that are part of Thailand’s Upper North region – Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Mae Hong Song, Chiang Rai and Phayao – have borne the brunt of the HIV epidemic in Thailand, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the country’s AIDS cases. Since the late 1980s, a multi-sectoral holistic response has developed in the Upper North which has provided examples of effective practices in HIV prevention, care and support work. Thailand’s past success in reducing the number of new annual HIV infections has made it one of the first countries to meet Millennium Development Goal number 6 of reversing the spread of HIV and AIDS by 2015.
