I want to take a thai friend of mine for the aids test , and never having 1 taken in pattaya can some one advise where i should take him.and cost . Also i want to get him started on prep so would like to know the cost of that for him and where he should go to get it
I understand that PrEP is available at a cost of around 30 baht a day but at that cost only from the Red Cross clinic in Bangkok. I'm not sure whether the clinic carries out any of the monitoring that is recommended for those on the drug eg. kidney functions. However Google has kindly provided a list of clinics across Thailand for those who care to use it - https://www.testbkk.org/en/news/wher...-prep-thailand - that purports to provide PrEP inexpensively and Pattaya does have a number of clinics mentioned. I imagine they also do STD testing or can recommend somewhereQuote:

You should be focused on the quality of the replies - did the one reply you get not give you all the information you needed? gerefan2 had the same problem when he asked about his Will, except that he received a number of worthless replies as well as a single helpful one. Quantity means nothing - you should focus on the quality members who provide helpful responses; the poster who did reply to your questions and the poster who gave gerefan2 his helpful replyQuote:

I purchased the generic version of prep at a pharmacy on rama 4 road near surawonge.Quote:

The HIV doctor is Dr. Phillippe from HEARTT 2000, he has been treating the boys and girls of Pattaya for at least 20 years nowQuote:

I may be completely wrong here but I thought the good doctor had moved on?
I remember an event last year where they announced Heart 2000 would no longer be handing out condoms etc and I thought it was to close?
Any ideas?
there was a fundraising event for HEARTT 2000 in BT on world AIDs day (Dec 1st) and Dr. Phillippe was pictured quite prominently in some of the social media pics that I saw.
So I think he is still working his magic around Pattaya

I hope Jim is not too put off by the recent attacks against him and will share his experiences with the forum.
