Today 1st December is World AIDS Day World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV. Do something to mark World AIDS Day – GET TESTED FOR HIV! You can also find out the facts about HIV and bust the myths.

Due to flood situation in Thailand, The Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre will not organize a special event on the World AIDS Day this year. However Dr. Nittaya Phanuphak from the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre issued the following Message:

“Thailand is very lucky to be one among a very few countries in the developing world where discrimination towards sexuality is not that strong and at the same time there are so many organizations with good hearted people who continue to work very hard to change HIV epidemic among MSM/TG. So why don’t you take a few minutes to think about what this means to you and the one(s) you love. Grab this opportunity to get tested for HIV regularly!”.
