The program focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment/care for key affected populations (KAPs) including men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people (TG), sex workers, and migrant workers in Bangkok, Maesod/Tak, Chonburi, Ratchaburi, Samutsakorn, Nonthaburi, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Ubon Ratchathani, Rayong and Ranong through special/thematic events, condom/lube promotion and distribution, community-based HIV rapid testing services, and linkages to appropriate medical care.

The Thai government has committed to ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 with a National AIDS Strategic Plan. While the number of adults infected has slowly declined, substantial progress has been made in eliminating HIV infections among children; Thailand saw a 41% reduction of HIV child transmission from 2010-2014.

In 2018, an estimated 480,000 of Thai people are living with HIV, out of the 68 million total population. An estimated 6,400 new HIV infections occurred in 2018. Gender prevalence amongst adults (15-49) shows women at 1% compared to men at 1.2%. Out of the 450,000 of Thai people living with HIV, approximately 360,000 are on treatment.
