  • Commentary: Thailand: Sexual and reproductive health before and after universal health coverage in 2002

    Open AccessViroj Tangcharoensathien, Kamheang Chaturachinda et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2014

    Thailand has achieved wide access to health services, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, through two major reforms (Balabanova et al., 2013). Beginning in the early 1980s, physical barriers to care were minimised by increased investment in the health system, particularly nation-wide expansion of well-functioning primary health care (PHC) to all sub-districts, and expansion of financial risk-protection mechanisms. Equity in a…

  • Access to treatment and care associated with HIV infection among members of Aids support groups in Thailand

    Mark Vanlandingham, Wassana Im-Em et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2006

    To examine the types and distributions of treatment received among persons living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHAs) in Thailand, we analyzed data collected during 2000 from 412 members of PLWHA support organizations in Bangkok and three upcountry northern provinces. Most (74%) of the respondents report ever receiving modern medical care for their HIV-related symptoms; 31% report ever using herbal treatments. Small proportions of those experiencing sever…

  • Living with HIV in Thailand: Assessing Vulnerability through a Life-Event History Approach

    Open AccessSophie Le Coeur, Wassana Im-Em et al.ARTICLEPopulation (English Edition2005Cited by: 3References: 3

    Thailand was the first Asian country to be affected by the AIDS epidemic in the late 1980s. It is one of the most hard-hit countries in the region and nearly one million people have been infected so far (World Bank, 2000). The epidemic first developed among intravenous drug users, and then among sex workers and their clients (Weniger et al., 1991). As the epidemic matured, heterosexual transmission became the major route of infection in the gener…

  • Community Reaction to Persons with HIV/Aids and Their Parents: An Analysis of Recent Evidence from Thailand

    Open AccessMark J Vanlandingham, Mark Vanlandingham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2005Cited by: 7References: 18

    We systematically examine community reaction to persons living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) and their older parents in Thailand. We focus on parents as well as PHAs because parents are major providers of care for their ill adult children. Our analyses are based on several sources of recently collected survey and qualitative data from a wide range of perspectives. We find important variations in community reaction to PHAs and their families, but overall t…

  • The Impacts of HIV/Aids on Older Populations in Developing Countries: Some Observations Based on the Thai Case

    Open AccessMark Vanlandingham, John Knodel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2000Cited by: 6References: 14

    The authors describe features of the older population and the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand and discuss potential links between them. Both direct and indirect impacts of AIDS on the Thai older population are discussed, but the focus is on how older persons could be indirectly affected by AIDS infections occurring among their adult children. Five major mechanisms are identified through which these indirect effects can occur: finance…
