-- Once again 01st. December comes-around - it is '
WORLD AIDS'. DAY.' an officially & UN. recognised day.
-- Reportedly:
'Only 28%. of Americans with HIV. have it under control. Only 20%. with HIV. know it, as people can be infected with AIDS. and live for years without developing symptoms. Only 50%. of those aware are receiving treatment. ... .'.
-- America is one of this world's most developed countries where there is little if any shortage of germane information,whether from web-sites,or from hospitals
etc. etc..

-- Here, in THAILAND, many clinics & Hospital offer
free testing for both HIV. & for Syphilis, (the
two go together quite often.), see separate thread for this. Medications are seldom free. I understand that a
one month's supply of '
Stockrin.' & of '
Truveda.', both taken
once per diem, can cost approx.
3,500.oo.Bh., a sum beyond the reach of many of the poorer Thais. Some of this, as I'm aware from chatting with Thais affected, stems from
not availing of a Condom - cost
10.Bh. or so
each one!
