100 Percent Condom Use Policy Is Significant Strategy, Says ThailandNovember 7, 2001 At the 7th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders Summit in Brunei on Monday, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the most significant strategy in Thailand's AIDS prevention program was its policy of 100 percent condom use in sex establishments. The policy, adopted in 1991, "prevents customers from purchasing sexual services unless they use a condom," he said in a statement during a special session on HIV/AIDS. As a result, the incidence of STDs dropped from more than 400,000 cases per year before 1991 to fewer than 14,000 cases per year since 2000.
