Most people don't get tested so actual numbers will be much higher. Cost of treatment is much lower than the test for gonorrhea and chlamydia so people just get the antibiotics. 

 

HIV and syphilis testing is cheap. Lifecare lab 99 baht for HIV

Social media is not an accurate source of epidemioligical information.  And mass media is not much better.

 

There are mass media reports quoting the MoPH as saying something about 8,862 new HIV infectiond  in 2025 but it is totally unclear if this reflects partial year dsta (and if so, for how many months) or is a projection of what the total is likely to be by the end of the year --- or is actually data for 2024 being reported now in 2025. All very different things.

 

This information  takes time to vollect and verify, and  typically reported annually around thr middle of the year  for the prior year.

 

The confirmed figure for full year 2023 was 9,300.

 

If  this 8 862 figure is actuslly for 2024 ,  then there has been no increase. And litlle or no increase if it is a ptojection for 2025.

 

if it is actually for an unknown number of months in 2025, then it is a large increase. 

 

Note that the  number of new infections and prevalence/number of infected people are quite different from number of new infections. 

 

Syphilis infections have been rising worldwide for some years now.

OK, I went to the actual source.  https://pr.moph.go.th//assets/uploads/news/2568/d62f018add623ebcf36966b7ec9f883a.pdf

 

8,862 is a projected estimate for new infections for  2025.  Probably based on a modeling exercise. The MOPH announcement says nothing about a "surge" or increase, and from the numbers none is projected.

 

As mentioned in prior post, the actual figure for 2023 was 9,300. I don't know what 2024 was as that information is still be compiled/verified but it is clear that cases are not on the increase, though they are also not decreasing as fast as would be desired.

 

So any social media reports of a "sharp increase"are fake news.

 

This is exactly why there is a Health Forum specific rule against pisting  news articles etc...they are so very often (indeed, most often in the case of social media)  inaccurate.

 

"4. Posting/pinning of news articles: The forum is for members to seek advice on health/beauty related matters. it is not the place for general dissemination of news, research findings etc. Members are not to post news articles/research findings unless in the context of a discussion specific to an ASEAN NOW member's health/beauty related problem."
