HIV is the leading cause of premature death in Thailand. Since the first case of AIDS was reported in 1984, more than one million Thais have become infected. The social, human, and economic costs of this burden are enormous. This book presents the results of a joint study between the World Bank and the Ministry of Health of the Royal Thai Government (RTG) to assess the likely benefits, costs, and consequences of the government's 2003 initiative to expand public provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
