Thailand - Confronting HIV/ AIDS
This film will give you a quick overview of how the AIDS situation in Thailand, has developed between 1988 - 2004. After the early phase, a political leadership at top level helped to mobilze the community to successfully fight HIV/ AIDS. At the center was the Senator Mechai Viravaidya, in media called Mr Condom. He has been a real pioneer, in halting the spread of HIV/ AIDS in Thailand. Today there is free distribution of anti retro virals to people living with HIV and AIDS. This film ends with a story shot in 2004 about seventeen year old orphan, On, living with HIV since birth. She now lives at an orphanage and gets free medication each day. Her dream is that all people living with HIV/ AIDS will have free access to anti retro viral treatment.
