Thailand plans to launch an online programme aimed at enhancing public access to HIV testing and HIV/Aids treatment while setting an ambitious goal to see no new HIV infections by 2030.
The National Health Security Office (NHSO) has set aside 3.97 billion baht to fund the 2023 fiscal year project which will officially begin on Oct 1, said deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek, on Monday. The programme will involve the provision of free HIV screening tests, consultancy, treatment and related laboratory testing required during the life-long treatment of people living with HIV/Aids, she said.
