HIV ECHO กองโรคเอดส์ ครั้งที่ 3 recently concluded with key highlights on HIV self-testing and PrEP/PEP in Thailand. The conference focused on the importance of self-testing as a convenient and confidential way for individuals to know their HIV status. This method allows for early detection and timely treatment, ultimately reducing the spread of the virus.
Additionally, the conference highlighted the effectiveness of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) in preventing the transmission of HIV. PrEP involves the use of antiretroviral drugs by HIV-negative individuals to reduce the risk of acquiring the virus, while PEP is a short-term treatment for those who may have been exposed to HIV.
Overall, HIV ECHO กองโรคเอดส์ ครั้งที่ 3 emphasized the importance of these preventive measures in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Thailand, promoting wider access and uptake of self-testing, PrEP, and PEP for a healthier and safer community.
