The Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand works with fishermen in Pattani, near the Malaysian border. Thailand in particular, has set an example to the rest of the developing world for the effectiveness of its HIV prevention work, which started in 1984 when the first case of AIDS was reported.
Conscripts now pass on what they've learnt to at least three other people.
While the air force's programme ensures many of the male population are reached, at risk groups such as fishermen, intravenous drug users and sex workers have also been targeted. On a boat moored in the harbour at Pattani in southern Thailand, a PPAT worker tells the fishermen about the dangers of AIDS and describes some of the prevention methods available. Then follows a demonstration of how to put on a condom, using a wooden model. We go out for 15 to 20 days and come home to port for a couple of days. It's good for the crew to know how to protect themselves - it's useful.
