With foreigners who are only interested in going to Thailand for sex, it is inevitable that the Thais get infected with new cases from new arrivals each year.

about 1% of the population of thailand is HIV positive or has AIDs. The numbers were skyrocketing for a while, but awareness and the governments willingness to subsidize the medications has greatly reduced the spead of HIV in thailand. Sadly though, about 600,000 people are infected with HIV in Thailand, with a population of about 65M, that's about 1 in 100
To put it in perspective, by estimations there are about 1,000,000 cases of HIV in the US with an estimated population of about 295M. That's about 3 in 1000

From what I've read, alot. Prostitution is a huge issue in South East Asia, so STDS are very common.

One is too many. The $ is in the treatment, not the cure.

Well, an old woman helped me across the road.
Does that count?

Keep your carrot in your pants and you won't have to worry about it.
