The Thai Red Cross thinks that over 400 000 people Thailand might have HIV with out knowing it.
They urge Thai people to go test them self so that they do not give HIV to other people with out knowing it.
Today 1,115,415 adults have been infected with HIV in Thailand Over half million of them have died already and the rest are living with HIV or Aids. This year alone over 12 787 adults and children have been infected with HIV
If you have a partner and not sure do not stop using condoms just because you know them. The Red Cross does simple blood test in Bangkok and you do not have to give your name.

It seems that many western men lose all sense when they land in Thailand, heading straight for the night bars and go go bars, paying the bar fine and heading straight to the nearest short time hotel, Some of the Thai bar girls have reported that western men offer more money to have sex without a condom.
This is a very dangerous game to play.
Men that meet Thai ladys and are looking at getting married, it is a good idea to have an Aids test with the Thai girlfriend before you stop using condoms. Before committing to a life time of marriage with your Thai wife, it is better to known each other including her health.
A UK man said to me recently, “I don’t wear a condom with my Thai girlfriend because she is my girlfriend”. He met her in a go go bar and he is aware that she has had 100’s if not 1000’s of clients.
It is better to be safe than sorry, the inconvenience of using a condom certainly out ways the risk of HIV and Aids.
