Previously, when we spoke of AIDS, we might think that it’s far from us. Currently AIDS issue became closer to us unavoidably. Aids are not only the most dangerous disease, which cause thousands of people to death, but it also sabotages a society, and economy.
AIDS are critical issue in Thai society. An updated survey said that there were about 600,000 – 1,200, 000 Thai with HIV positive. Our country has to spend large amount of budget to treat those patients. AIDS are not only a social problem, but also part of public health care, which effects social and economical aspects. It raised the questions; How necessary that we have to spend so much money to cure those patients? How much do AIDS patients have in their social rights?
