There are very few developing countries in the world where public policy has been effective in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS on a national scale. Thailand is an exception, a massive program to control HIV has reduced visits to commercial sex workers by half, raised condom usage, decreased sexually transmitted infections dramatically, and achieved substantial reductions in new HIV infections. However, unless past efforts are sustained and new sources of infection are addressed, the striking achievements made in controlling the epidemic could be put at risk. There is a need in Thailand to continue strong HIV/AIDS prevention and education efforts in the future, as well as to provide treatment and care for those living with HIV/AIDS.
世界上很少有发展中国家能通过公共政策在全国范围内有效预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的传播。泰国是个例外，一项大规模的艾滋病毒控制计划已使光顾商业性工作者的人次减少了一半，提高了避孕套的使用率，大幅降低了性传播感染，并使新的艾滋病毒感染人数大幅减少。然而，除非过去的努力得以持续且新的感染源得到解决，否则在控制该流行病方面取得的显著成就可能会面临风险。泰国未来需要继续大力开展艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和教育工作，同时为感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人提供治疗和护理。
