The Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre is providing anti-HIV drugs or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for free at the Thai Red Cross Anonymous Clinic to celebrate Her Royal Highness Princess Soamsawali’s 60th birthday anniversary, the Red Cross has posted on Facebook.

Her Royal Highness Princess Soamsawali, who turns 60 on Thursday, has supported the work of the AIDS Research Centre.

Those interested can receive PrEP drugs for free at the clinic and seven community healthcare centres across Thailand from now until July 20. For more information call 02-2516711-5.

An exhibition is being held inside the centre on this special occasion to educate people about the PREP program, which helps prevent HIV transmission.

Sixty scholarships were also granted to children of HIV-patients as a way of honoring Her Royal Highness.
