What about the discos in VTE? Are they a pick up joint for vice activities? Please help to list these discos so that innocent people will not visit there.
HIV doesn't come from discos and listing discos does not stop people from going to other ones. You have been watching too many stupid american cop shows. Give young people alternative activites. Give them sex education so they use condoms. Give them jobs so they don't have to go to Thailand. HIV is coming from Thailand as young people go to work there and bring it back with them. I doubt the 100 cases is correct because most people dont know they have it for years. I would say if it is 100 official cases then the real figure is likely 500-1000.
Yeah be real with situations like this. You can't say to people "Don't have sex" you have to realize what is real, people have sex. Sex Education is a need.
It's bad news, Many People travel to thailand as illegal worker . i guess some ppls infected from thailand and spread in Hometown, there are hookers work in the restaurant and bar don't know how to prevent the HIV, the local gov should find a way to promote how to protect the HIV, especially the hooker and the guest who love to have unsafe sex. AIDS IS EASY TO PREVENT ,BUT HARD TO CURE

I agree with you. HIV is a covert disease. Some may have false negative result if they were tested when the illness is still developing. Sex education and HIV prevention should be part of the high school curriculum. What you know can protect you.
I think its already too dam late! Most of the laotian working in Thailand and coming back to laos are spreading this HIV all over Laos! The Laotian government should of been smart and wise since we all know Thailand is where all this infective HIV are from and now is spreading all over SouthEast Asia! Now Laos will suffer and many more people will die because of this slow action that the government makes and it seem they don't care for there own people much but corruption!!!!!!!!
I am embarrass to be Laotian now because how slow most of us act and how bias some of us are which including me too. And I don't care what some of u are saying because I'm sure u people wouldn't care either!!!!!
why everyone in here bleming the Gov or Thailand buyt why don't we blem ourselve not to protect ourselve by using a condom while having sex with people that not your wife or your lover?
The thing is our Gov have to work more on this and giving the information of HIV+ to all local people to know how to protect them from HIV, how to use condom every time when to make love to protect both side.
The chance of people who got HIV from a hooker is lesser than from normal people as. A whore is a kind of job and most of the hookers known how to protect themselve from pregnancy, sex deseases and HIV. Hookers they knew how to ask their customers to use condom. I believed that.
Most of the HIV cases are not protecting themselve as they thought that their couple that just met is not a hooker and just normal people so they thought it's safe to doing xxx without condom
Even Lao have no Condom factory but we can ask help to get free condoms from UN, Thailand or China which they they can help us to provide free of charge condoms to the poor local people

well said! Usually the health ministry regulates potential spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) through hookers by requiring them to submit themselves to mandatory and regular health check up that includes test for HIV and other STDs. Otherwise they wont get clearance or some sort of "license to sell sex." This is being done in most countries and I believe Laos is no exemption. But its just a little bit slower there. And there is also no assurance that 100% of hookers will comply to the requirement as many are free-lancers.
Having said that many HIV/ STD infections are transmitted through regular/ known partners because there is factor of love and /or trust. Hence, they careless and dont find it necessary to use protection like using a condom.
Moral of the story: 1. If you cant control your itch, better find hookers from reliable sources than just randomly picking one from the street corner. You might spend more but that would be money "well spent." 2. If you dont trust your partner as being faithful and loyal, you got all the right to request him/her to use protection (e.g. condom). This might be awkward at first but in the end both of you will realize that its worth it.

Hey brother how come you say this? is it because they use lead for color or something else. Please be specific for the benefit of fellow women here. You see if there is danger and they dont know about it, they may falsely think that they are protecting themselves from HIV/STD but at the same time unknowingly exposing themselves to some danger. I would appreciate that you expound on this. Thank you!
