AIDS Threatens Thailand's Workforce

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

October 24, 2001

Thai citizens in their most productive working years are expected to die of AIDS at the fastest rate over the next four years, according to information supplied to the Nation newspaper by officials of the Communicable Disease Department. About 50,000 of the country's 700,000 citizens living with HIV/AIDS are expected to die between 2002 and 2006. "We estimate 90 percent of those people who are expected to die will be aged between 20 and 44, considered the productive working age group," said Dr. Anuphong Chitvirakorn, director of the department's AIDS Division.
