World Vision says SWs bring HIV on return from Thailand

World Vision in New Zealand says sex workers returning from work in Thailand contribute to the HIV 'problem' in Myanmar. Is this true any longer?

Although Myanmar's primary healthcare infrastructure is improving gradually, only 60 per cent of the country is believed to have access to a full array of services. Poor nutrition, the use of polluted water and unsanitary methods of waste disposal result in a high incidence of illness, absenteeism from work and low productivity.

Myanmar's deteriorating economy and its proximity to the Thai border expose girls and women to sex trafficking. Many of these girls and women work in the border areas of Thailand, then return to their villages in Myanmar, contributing to the country's burgeoning HIV and AIDS problem.
