Abstract

The HIV/AIDS epidemic has entered its fourth decade and continues to be a major public health problem worldwide (Norman et al. 2009). It has now tremendously affected women around the globe (Zhou 2008). Of the 33.4 million people worldwide who are living with HIV/AIDS in 2008, 15.7 million were women (The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) AIDS epidemic update, 2009). In Asia, the AIDS epidemic continues to grow, and compared with 1.7 million in 2003, at the end of 2005, the number of women living with HIV was estimated at two million (UNAIDS 2005). Thailand is one of the Asian countries that have been hit hard by the epidemic of HIV/AIDS.
