Thailand is a famous tourist mecca in Asia, but also the place with the most demons and temples in Asia, with the rapid development of the economy, Thailand has developed tourism in full swing in recent years, and behind the warm and beautiful tourism is hidden the unknown SQ trading industry.
Even some of the tourists who choose Thailand tourism are for the red light district service, such an industrial chain makes Thailand gradually become a paradise for AIDS, according to the statistics of 2020, there are more than 500,000 people infected with AIDS in Thailand, but the entire Thai population is only about 60 million, so the number of AIDS in Thailand accounts for more than 0.8% of the total population.
The severe AIDS epidemic has forced Thailand to spend a lot of money to control it, but to this day, the RATE of AIDS infection in Thailand has not been effectively controlled, and it has even become a paradise recognized by the family as an AIDS paradise.
As we all know, the primary reason for the infection of AIDS in Thailand is the vigorous development of the SQ industry, and the relevant survey organizations said that more than 1 million foreign tourists in Thailand come to experience the SQ service every year, and the industry chain has also brought billions of dollars of revenue to Thailand, so Thailand has always turned a blind eye to the development of the industry chain.
The main reason why the Thai industry attracts foreign tourists so much is that it is cheap, and the survey shows that the SQ service fee in Thailand is the lowest in the world, so many people choose to spend less money to experience the service in Thailand.
Moreover, the industry has been going on for a long time, with more than 500,000 women in Thailand in the 1990s, and now with the growing economy, Thailand's connivance in the service sector has multiplied several times.
In fact, in Thailand's flooded SQ industry, women are not respected, most women are forced by life to embark on this road, and there are many underage girls, these women can be said to be basically regarded as slaves by the bosses and men.
In the face of such a rampant trading industry, Thailand has been shouting on the surface to crack down on and ban the SQ trading industry, but these so-called crackdowns and bans are only superficial efforts, and even many Thai officials and police have long been in cahoots with the industry. Why not only can they be bribed in it, but they can also experience high-end services for free? This is also the main reason why the SQ industry in Thailand cannot be eradicated.
Speaking of the beginning of the development of the SQ industry in Thailand, it will be traced back to the 1960s, when Thailand was still a US colony, in order to absolutely obey the requirements of the American soldiers, the trading industry was slowly brewing in it, and in the 1980s and 1990s, a complete industrial chain was formed.
Today, Thailand's industry is dominated by tourists and some of Thai dignitaries, and the rate of HIV infection is growing under the catalysis of trade, and AIDS has had a serious impact on Thailand in the 1980s.
At that time, the first case of AIDS infection found in Thailand was a gay man returning from the United States, and the number of AIDS infections in Thailand increased rapidly in the next two years, from the original one to 188 cases in the third year.
However, after a year, 188 cases have already grown to more than 5,000 cases, such a terrible growth rate may be the only one in the world, and then in April 1995, when the statistics were surveyed again, the number of HIV infections in Thailand had reached 19,095 cases, and two months later this data once again became 22,135 cases, but the number of AIDS infections in Thailand has also increased in recent years.
According to relevant surveys, most of the AIDS infected people in Thailand are from remote rural women, mainly because rural women do not have good health habits and conditions, and people's awareness of prevention in rural areas is not high, so there has been a rapid growth.
Not only that, but the backward and feudal thinking of the Thai people is also one of the reasons for the rapid increase in the rate of AIDS infection, and basically no man in Thailand will use condoms because they think that this is a manifestation of no masculinity, so many men would rather risk contracting AIDS than choose to compromise.
Seeing the continuous spread of AIDS in Thailand, Thailand gradually realized the harm of the SQ industry, so Thailand began to force women to conduct AIDS screening, but now countless trading industries have long been turned into underground secrets, so even mandatory screening can be said to be meaningless.
And the incubation period of AIDS is as long as 12 years, which means that even if a woman in the industry is infected with HIV, it is likely that no one will know about it, so she has been infecting other people during her career.
In this regard, in order to effectively control the rate of AIDS infection, Thailand has introduced a lot of relevant regulations and publicity, but one of them is very difficult to understand, that is, Thailand will do publicity for normal women, and there is no provision in Thailand that requires men to undergo AIDS tests, which has also led to many Thai women being infected with AIDS from men.
The World Health Organization predicted that about 150,000 people would die of AIDS in Thailand in 1997, but what people did not expect was that the number of AIDS deaths in Thailand had already exceeded this number before the advent of 1997.
As a result, since the 1990s, Thailand has focused on domestic AIDS control, the most direct of which is to restrict adult men from receiving trading services, and to increase the publicity of hive infection and protective measures in the country, and to popularize the knowledge and necessity of condom use.
However, in the face of such measures, Thai natives began to think that most of the AIDS was brought by foreign travelers, so most people had a fluke attitude towards the regulations, so the speed of AIDS transmission in Thailand at that time was not effectively improved.
It was not until the mid-1990s that Thailand embarked on the second phase of HIV prevention and control, during which time the "100% use of condoms" policy was introduced and the Internet was invested in the dissemination of AIDS transmission knowledge.
In addition, for the first time, Thailand has incorporated AIDS-related communication and treatment knowledge into textbooks, while promoting women's sense of independence and protection. However, none of Thailand's practices seem to be working as expected, as the main cause of the AIDS epidemic, the service sector, has not improved, so the source of transmission continues to spread unchecked.
In fact, the current situation in Thailand at that time has long been understood internationally, but Thailand has been hiding from the outside world, trying to use this way to cause other countries to ignore, because for them, the service industry is a lot of income, if the industry is directly banned, then the Thai economy will be hit hard.
For the specifics of the industry, Thailand has also been silent, until one of Thailand's largest massage shop owners published such a paper , "Informal Business: Thai social services case study", exposing the current situation of the Thai industry in front of the public.
Not only that, in a paper published by Juvit Kamowester in 2008, it was also clear that thailand's revenue in the industry reached 163 billion baht in 2007, accounting for 2% of Thailand's total GDP, which shows that Thailand's SQ industry has become a very important economic source.
According to statistical surveys, nearly 87% of men in Thailand have purchased services, of which more than 40% of married men have purchased services in the past year, and unmarried men who have purchased color services are as high as 50%, which shows that Thailand's social atmosphere has been completely polluted by the SQ service industry, how can such a country completely eliminate AIDS.
In the face of such a flood of SQ service industry in Thailand, in the 21st century, Thailand finally began to realize the importance of the problem, so in 2021 launched a number of rectification actions, the first target of the rectification is Pattaya with the "sin city".
Finally, under the strict crackdown of Thailand, Thailand's AIDS protection has achieved certain results, and from the beginning of the 21st century, the rate of HIV infection in Thailand has gradually declined, of which the number of AIDS infections engaged in the SQ industry has declined the most obviously, indicating that the various AIDS protection policies introduced have played a certain role.
summary
Although the rate of HIV infection in Thailand has declined at this stage, there is still a long way to go before the aids can be truly eradicated in Thailand, and first of all, the dissemination of knowledge about the safety of homosexual sexual life is particularly important.
In addition, Thailand should give more work plans to adult women so that more women can earn a living through legitimate work, thus effectively reducing the spread of Thailand's service industry, which is crucial for the control of HIV infection.
