泰国妇女感染艾滋病毒的比例正在上升。估计有70 000名15至24岁的年轻人感染艾滋病毒，其中60%以上是女性。此外，15至19岁的少女感染艾滋病毒的比例是同年龄组的男性青少年的两倍（泰国公共卫生部）。一项跨部门描述性研究确定了泰国曼谷公立中学12至14岁的泰国少女及其母亲所认为的使泰国少女面临艾滋病毒风险的具体行为和情况。数据来自人口调查问卷和四个不同的焦点小组（n=40）;两个焦点小组与泰国青少年（n=20）和两个焦点小组与他们的母亲（n=20）。内容分析表明，被认为最有可能导致泰国少女感染艾滋病毒的行为是在没有保护的情况下发生性行为和吸毒，最有可能使她们面临艾滋病毒风险的情况是没有父母或成人监督的酒馆/酒吧和男朋友或朋友的房子。这些母亲和女儿报告说，艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防方案应提供关于性传播感染的原因和危险的教育，包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病和预防战略。这些数据为制定针对泰国少女的具有文化相关性的减少艾滋病毒风险方案奠定了基础。
The proportion of Thai women infected with HIV is rising. More than 60% of the estimated 70,000 young adults from ages 15 to 24 years who are infected with HIV are females. Furthermore, the ratio of adolescent females aged 15 to 19 years who are infected with HIV is twice that of adolescent males in the same age group (Thai Ministry of Public Health, ). A cross-sectional descriptive study identified the specific behaviours and situations placing Thai adolescent females at risk from HIV as perceived by Thai adolescent females aged between 12 and 14 years from public middle schools in Bangkok, Thailand and their mothers. Data were obtained from a demographic questionnaire and four different focus groups (n=40); two focus groups with Thai adolescents (n=20) and two focus groups with their mothers (n=20). Content analysis suggested that the behaviours considered most likely to result in HIV infection of Thai adolescent females were having sex without protection and drug use, and the most likely situations placing them at HIV risk were pubs/bars and boyfriends’ or friends’ houses when there is no parental or adult supervision. The mothers and daughters reported that HIV/AIDS-prevention programmes should provide education about the causes and dangers of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS and prevention strategies. These data laid the foundation for the development of a culturally relevant HIV risk-reduction programme for Thai adolescent females.
