Book excerpt: Abstract Objective: To assess sex practices, contraceptive methods used and the intention for conception in Thai heterosexual HIV-positive women and men, who are either married or in a stable relationship. Methods: We applied a mixed research method, by gathering quantitative data, via administering a questionnaire, and qualitative data, via conducting focus group discussions (FGD). 200 HIV-positive men and women at HIV-NAT clinic and Anonymous Clinic in Bangkok, completed a self-administered questionnaire. Eleven female participants took part in two FGD, based on their intention for conception. Statistical analysis: We used descriptive statistics to present the results from the questionnaire. To assess association between two variables of interest we applied logistic regression or Chi-square exact test. We used a narrative approach to present the results from the FGD. Results: The median age of the participants was 37 years, and they were living for a median of 8.5 years with HIV. Almost all participants were sexually active and almost all were on successful antiretroviral therapy. The most cornmon choice of contraception for women was the male condom, followed by female sterilization (40%). Half of them reported the use of dual contraception. Almost all rnen reported consistent condom use. Most of the participants had sex with their main partner, of whom one-third were HIV-negative. One-fifth of men had sexual relationship with an occasional partner. The intention for conception was significantly less after being diagnosed with HIV. Nevertheless, 25% of the participants expressed a desire to have a child. There was a significant association between the intention for conception and the fewer years of being married and the lower number of living children. Men and women with higher levels of education tended to have a stronger desire for a child. Discussion: Thai men and women with stable HIV and married or in a stable relationship are sexually active and tend to practise safe sex. Many desire to have children. Therefore, there is a need to provide comprehensive reproductive health care services to this group of people. HIV-positive rnen and women, who want to have children, should be supported and counseled regarding safe ways to conceive. For those who do not want to have children, there is a substantial choice of contraceptive methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV is the leading cause of premature death in Thailand. Since the first case of AIDS was reported in 1984 more than one million Thais have been infected. The social, human and economic costs of this burden are enormous. The Thai government has shown a strong commitment to providing care and support to persons living with HIV/AIDS by launching the National Access to Care Program (NAPHA) in 2003, which provides for publicly financed antiretroviral therapy (ART) to all HIV-infected people. This book documents through interviews how ART has radically changed the lives of those living with HIV. In the words of an HIV positive 29-year old man, ART is a "miracle." The book then develops an innovative analytical framework and uses it to show how the future sustainability and cost-effectiveness of this ambitious program depend critically on Thai government choices of AIDS treatment policy, HIV prevention policy and AIDS drug pricing. For the most likely assumptions, the book estimates that ART will save years of healthy life at a cost of between $700 and $2,400 per year. Successful AIDS treatment accumulates ever-increasing numbers of patients who need subsidized ART. Despite the magnitude of the resulting fiscal burden, the authors judge this expenditure to be a worthwhile public health investment for Thailand, However, they show that the future sustainability of the program will hinge critically on how well the government manages the quality of ART service delivery, on whether it is able to sustain its past successes in HIV prevention and on its negotiations with multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers on the prices of new AIDS drugs.

Book excerpt: From Thailand's open debate about and readiness to deal with its HIV problem to the relationship between the Burmese regime and the drug trade, this book investigates the way that the HIV epidemic has taken its course in seven countries of Southeast Asia. The author shows how the cultural and political landscapes of these countries have affected the often devastating progress of the disease. The way that the epidemic has spread is seen as being vitally linked to the general condition of human rights in the societies, while being specifically mediated by sexual behaviour, drug use and the state of health care.

Download or read book How Sex Changed written by Joanne Meyerowitz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Sex Changed is a fascinating social, cultural, and medical history of transsexuality in the United States. Joanne Meyerowitz tells a powerful human story about people who had a deep and unshakable desire to transform their bodily sex. In the last century when many challenged the social categories and hierarchies of race, class, and gender, transsexuals questioned biological sex itself, the category that seemed most fundamental and fixed of all. From early twentieth-century sex experiments in Europe, to the saga of Christine Jorgensen, whose sex-change surgery made headlines in 1952, to today’s growing transgender movement, Meyerowitz gives us the first serious history of transsexuality. She focuses on the stories of transsexual men and women themselves, as well as a large supporting cast of doctors, scientists, journalists, lawyers, judges, feminists, and gay liberationists, as they debated the big questions of medical ethics, nature versus nurture, self and society, and the scope of human rights. In this story of transsexuality, Meyerowitz shows how new definitions of sex circulated in popular culture, science, medicine, and the law, and she elucidates the tidal shifts in our social, moral, and medical beliefs over the twentieth century, away from sex as an evident biological certainty and toward an understanding of sex as something malleable and complex. How Sex Changed is an intimate history that illuminates the very changes that shape our understanding of sex, gender, and sexuality today.
