Representatives of more than 40 Pattaya entertainment establishments attended a seminar on protection against sexually transmitted diseases, held at the Public Health Center on October 26.

 

Mrs Na Anya Chantrakat, head of the Contagious Disease Prevention and Protection Section.

 

Mayor Niran Wattanasartsathorn formally opened the seminar, which had been organized by Mrs Wannaporn Jamjarat, director of the Pattaya Public Health and Environmental Department.

Mrs Na Anya Chantrakat, head of the Contagious Disease Prevention and Protection Section said the purpose of the seminar was to encourage the entrepreneurs to form a network to take care of their employees’ health. The network would act to promote knowledge and understanding, and so change sexual behavior patterns.

AIDS is a major problem, data from this year showing that the country has more than one million HIV cases and that the number is increasing by 70 or 80 new HIV cases per day. The data reveals an increase amongst sexual workers, and the seminar emphasized the importance of the use of condoms.

Na Anya said that condoms were being distributed to entertainment outlets and that these can be collected from the Public Health Department at any time.

so why does Take Care continue to raise money to buy condoms and distribute to bars?

As far as I am concerned the more people trying to ensure that go-go and street boys are aware of safe sex practices the better.
