One of the main problems that remains in Thailand is the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS. Finally the country is trying to move ahead and find vaccines against the terrible disease. Many villagers are taking part in an experiments where they are given the vaccine and some are given a placebo vaccine. In many case the people that are offering themselves up to be tested, get AIDS. However the government had been very kind and is offering these people fully payed for treatments against the disease. Out of all the people that were experimented on only 2 have died so far. The government has also taken initiative in informing people of changes that they could make that would decrease their chances of getting AIDS.
I think that the Thai government is showing a lot of responsibility in this situation and that they are realizing that they have to slow down the rate at which this disease is spreading in their country. More that the government I think the villagers are showing the best character, because they are willing to risk getting AIDS just for sake of future generations and so that someone may find out how to battle AIDS.
