Thailand

There are an estimated 314,808 trans people living in Thailand but exact population estimates are unknown and more systematic, population-representative data is limited. Discrimination continues to limit trans people’s access to education and employment opportunities. Thailand continues to have one of the highest HIV8 prevalence rates in Asia and the Pacific, accounting for 9% of the region’s total population of PLHIV. HIV remains a concentrated epidemic in Thailand, and HIV prevalence in key populations remains unacceptably high especially in the under 25 age group.
