| « Bangkok Hospital for HIV and AIDS | Bangkok HIV Test » |
I was wondering why the previous owner of this domain was selling his HIV tests by mailorder (they were mostly advertised in bars and on nightlife related websites). During my last visit to Thailand I visited various pharmacies in Bangkok in Pattaya to find that most of them sell HIV quick tests over the counter. It's a simple HIV antibody test. The going rates for the HIV test kits range from 150 Thai Baht to 600 Baht. Closer to tourist and nightlife attractions located pharmacies would try to make more profit while other shops would sell them for lower prices. If you live in Bangkok there is absolutely no need to get the kits over a mailorder biz. Just go to any Bangkok pharmacy and purchase them directly.
Of course, some people argue it is better to get tested in a first class Thai hospital or in various institutions that offer anonymous blood tests. I will try to come up with a list of Bangkok hospitals and HIV doctors that offer tests and counseling in my next HIV blog post.
