Looking For HIV Testing in Thailand? Find HIV Center

Established in 2014 to address the unmet needs of migrant workers, AHF Thailand has expanded its services to provide comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care. The program operates in collaboration with a network of over 30 partners, including government hospitals and community-based organizations across various provinces. AHF Thailand focuses on key populations that are often underserved, such as youth, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people (TG), sex workers (SW), people who use drugs (PWUD), and migrant workers.

One of the program’s key innovations is the launch of a government-community-based organization (CBO) care model, designed to enhance HIV care services for Thais living in difficult circumstances. This model has improved access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for many individuals who would otherwise face significant barriers. Through its extensive network, AHF Thailand serves over 77,000 patients and conducts HIV tests for more than 100,000 clients annually.

In addition to promoting condom use and awareness through public campaigns and events, AHF Thailand is actively involved in advocating for improved services. Key initiatives include working towards cross-border ART access for migrants, developing service packages for clients engaged in chemsex (chemical sex), and addressing legal and social barriers linked to the decriminalization of sex work.

AHF Thailand has also adopted innovative approaches, such as targeted online testing for high-risk individuals. Since the launch of this initiative in 2022, it has shown promising results, with a positivity rate of 20% to 30% among those tested. Through its multifaceted approach, AHF Thailand continues to close service gaps and ensure that vulnerable populations receive the care they need.

In 2023, AHF Thailand launched the Food For Health program to support the livelihoods of underserved PLHIV. Selected clients received layer chickens and training on how to raise them. Some eggs were consumed by families to ensure adequate nutrition, while others were sold to generate income to cover barriers like transportation costs.
