HIV/AIDS
A couple of years ago, some volunteer members of Habitat for Humanity Thailand wrote of their trip to Udon Thani, which included a visit to an HIV/AIDS orphanage — quite touching.
I honestly don’t know what current infection rates are, but a Population and Housing Census 2000 report for Udon Thani Province indicated that the “Prevalence rate of HIV infection in pregnant women” was 1.06%; and the “AIDS case rate” was “23.09: 100,000 population.”
The Catholic Daughters of Charity apparently has an active Udon Community. Mention is also made of the Catholic Church’s involvement in ministering to people with HIV/AIDS in this article announcing the appointment of a new bishop in Udon Thani earlier this year.
You may have heard of Udon’s ‘dancing orchids’ — I was surprised to read here that “some AIDS patients swear by the plant’s healing powers.”
The Buddhist monks of Thailand have an initiative designed to bring awareness and education about HIV and AIDS to Thai children, and the monks of Udon Thani are certainly involved. It is difficult to tell how prevalent or successful this project is, but it’s interesting to read about it: Dhamma Camps Against AIDS.
A fairly recent overview in .pdf format titled HIV Vulnerabilities of
Female Migrant Sex Workers in Udon Thani was done by the College of Public Health Sciences of Chulalongkorn University — you can access it here.
A problem in dealing with the treatment of AIDS was identified in 2007: HIV-infected mothers shun health services for fear of being ostracised from communities. It’s fairly short — you can read it here.
I would like to have offered more on this topic, but I am doing this edit on November 16, and my quadriceps tendon surgery of 11 days ago is presently causing my leg too much grief to endure any further time at my computer desk — how I rue never acquiring a laptop.
