Ending AIDS in Thailand

Thailand has committed to the targets of the 2011 High Level Meeting on AIDS and has a prioritized National Strategy which pledges a two-thirds reduction in incidence in sexual transmission, and through injecting drug use, by 2016.

Thailand has the potential to be one of the first countries in Asia to ‘End AIDS’ and reach the first milestone on the road to end AIDS by meeting the 2015 HLM targets. The end of AIDS can become a reality if Thailand is able to effectively utilize the preventive effects of antiretroviral treatment. Thailand as has already shown this is possible through the virtual elimination of HIV infections from mother to child.
