Migrants’ Health and Vulnerability to HIV/AIDS in Thailand - Phamit (2005)
 |
Migrants’ situation in Thailand is precarious. Due to their tenuous legal status and numerous barriers that limit access to health services and legal mechanisms, migrants endure poor working and living conditions without being able to receive full or proper treatment for related health conditions. With a sense of loss of control over their life, and without being able to access health information and services in their own language, migrants’ vulnerability to HIV and other reproductive health conditions increases, as does their susceptibility to contagious diseases and other health problems.

Thailand’s Response to HIV/AIDS: Progress and Challenges - Thematic MDG Report. UNDP (2004)
| Thailand has shown that a well-funded, politicallysupported and shrewdly-implemented response can change the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. After peaking at 143,000 in 1991, the annual number of new HIV infections has fallen to about 19,000 in 2003 – making Thailand one of a handful of countries to have reversed a serious HIV/AIDS epidemic. The national adult HIV prevalence continues to edge lower, with the latest estimates pegging it at a little over 1.5 percent at the end of 2003. Download this publication |

Timor-Leste Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS–2002). UNICEF (2003)
| UNICEF developed the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) to monitor goals established at the World Summit for Children (WSC) held in New York in 1990. But it is also consistent with many monitoring needs of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), as well as those of the more recent World Fit for Children (WFFC) that many countries are now using for human development planning into the 21st Century. MICS was created especially to meet the needs of developing countries lacking reliable routine sources of statistics and/or experience in carrying out reliable household surveys to measure performance relative to the WSC and, now, the Millennium Development and WFFC Goals.

HIV, STI Prevalence and Risk Behaviours among Women Selling Sex in Lahore, Pakistan. Khan MS, Unemo M, Zaman S, et al (2011)

More than 340 million cases of curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were estimated to have occurred worldwide in 1995.

The first national study of STIs conducted in Pakistan in 2004 revealed a high burden of STIs among women selling sex. Download this publication |
