PaullyW Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I hope the 29% includes their willingness with us farangs! And, hope further that the 29% is comprised of all Thai women 18-25 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morakot Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 An online survey with 200 participating? This is supposed to be a representation of exactly what? I suppose Mr Cherdkiat's centre needs more funding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naroge Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 A poll of 200 persons is hardly representative of the Thailand population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique355 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Only 200 people were interviewed? That is not serious scientific data, it's at best anectotal. But apparently a good scheme to get the attention, which is probably the purpose of it all. But could't that be done with a little bit more serious background research? Kind of destroys the initially good intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim armstrong Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 An online survey with 200 participating? This is supposed to be a representation of exactly what? I suppose Mr Cherdkiat's centre needs more funding. Agree. As much as I support anything to reduce HIV and Aids, a sample of 200 people is just not enough to draw any conclusions.

Halion Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So called Thai academia at it's best. Totally meaningless drivel based on a sample size of 200. Just a waste of time however typical of so called survey's in this country. Garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phitsanulokjohn Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Fine,then they can have no complaints when diagnosed with HIV,or any other number of STD'S. By the way did you hear about the guy who looked down at his piece only to observe a nasty discharge?He was heard saying ''Looks like i've got a GONORR-HOEA.

jackrich Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Keep in mind that this study assumes that it's "safe" sex if you met that stranger on Facebook, so the actual numbers are even lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 A poll of 200 persons is hardly representative of the Thailand population. Is so, for the indigenous peoples. At least it shows not so much these environmentalists were saving to recycle on Songkran. Doesn't everybody feel safer with some cold hard facts now?

Colabamumbai Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I wonder what the percentage would be among "foreign" men and women. I think it would be higher. I cannot speak for everyone but as a male I would think that all males have had "unsafe" sex with someone they did not really know. I have and presume that most would have had or will have. Something in that article re: would let my spouse continue to have sex with someone else as long as they used a condom. O.K. There is a reason that there is a proliferation of resorts, designed for a hour or two, or for the day, but rooms are not rented by the week or month. Someone is using them. I wonder if condoms are supplied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIV isn't harmful unless there's blood-to-blood contact with an HIV carrier. There's no reason at all to be disgusted by HIV unless you engage in unprotected sex or IV drug use with people who have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
