There is no fear mongering as you put it. The trends reported on are what they are. Every year Thai military conscripts have their medicals and every year the   numbers show that HIV remains  present in a population group that should not have such a high incidence.

What does the author's nationality have to do with the sad fact that sex tourists contract STIs? Are you aware that there was a pike in syphilis cases reported in Germany a few years ago? It was traced back to sex tourists. Does this mean that the  public health officials that were caught off guard by the syphilis cases were on a high moral horse?

BTW, instead of cursing  the USA, you and all the other American bashers ought to get down on your frigging knees and give thanks. The majority of  Thailand's funding for public health research and for HIV/malaria/TB initiatives comes from US organizations. Whether it is the  Bill & Melinda Gates  or the William Jefferson Clinton Foundations or the US CDC/NIH/Military it is US sourced. The Chinese and Russians don't contribute anything. And no I am not an American.

I've never really had any friends in my entire lifetime.  I'm the greatest loner here and proud of it.  

People who are willing to leave family and friend at home to travel far away must be intrinsically self sufficient confident loners

Totally off topic, but seeing as this thread is dribble anyway, I'd like to thank the taxi driver last night who came racing after me with my Mountain CD which I'd left in the back of his cab.

Cheers pal.
