Since 2012, Thailand has prioritized Stigma and Discrimination (S&D) reduction as one of the primary goals in its National AIDS Strategy. In addition, Thailand has reinforced its commitment to reduce S&D under the National Operational Plan for Ending AIDS 2015-2019 and the current national strategy to End AIDS 2017-2030. To complement Thailand’s strategies to end AIDS, a comprehensive and sustainable framework to measure S&D has been developed to provide evidence to generate commitment and interventions to reduce S&D in Thailand.
