​@ihri4832 IHRI (Institute of HIV Research and Innovation) Executive Director Dr Nittaya Phanuphak who got twice elected to the Governing Council of International AIDS Society (IAS) and currently serves on the GC IAS too, explains in details how community-led interventions that were instrumental in improving access to thousands of people to #PreExposureProphylaxis #PrEP and #PostExposureProphylaxis #PEP, are threatened and disrupted due to recent Government decisions. These recent government decisions also impact access to free HIV testing for all or condoms and other HIV prevention services.

Now several groups like APCOM, @raksthaifoundation  , Swing Foundation Thailand, Rainbow Association of Thailand, Institute of HIV Research and Innovation, @FHIVideo  , @mplusfoundationchiangrai7768  among others are lobbying the Thai government to reverse this policy guideline, and resume and scale up access to HIV prevention and whole range of services which is key to be on track to #endAIDS by 2030.

Thanks
