in Thailand was recorded when about 14,000 people where diagnosed with the
disease. The number of new HIV infections in Thailand then declined to an estimated

evidence that HIV is now spreading largely among the spouses and partners of
clients of sex workers, and among injecting drug users. It is estimated that
in 2002, 50% of infections were the result of heterosexual transmission in
cohabiting partnerships; 20% due to injecting drug use; 15% transmitted from
mother to child; and 15% were associated with commercial sex. |
