'''Important Notes - Learn about PEP and PrEP:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment to prevent HIV infection after exposure, and it may be available in your city. Take PEP as soon as possible. For more information, click [https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/prevention/reduce-your-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/ here]. If you are at risk of HIV exposure, seek out PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a daily oral pill that can prevent HIV infection before exposure.

'''Drug-resistant | '''Drug-resistant gonorrhea:''' So-called mega-gonorrhea has now been reported in 36 countries around the world, as strains of the virus build up a resistance to the drugs that used to treat them. Without treatment, gonorrhea can cause women to become infertile and lead to blindness in unborn babies. In partnership with the World Health Organization, Thailand has set up a program to track the illness and ensure that patients are given the right kind of treatment for their strain of the disease. The prescription of disproportionately strong antibiotics has been a leading factor in the growth of mega-gonorrhea. The program is being run out of two sites in Bangkok: The STD clinic at the Bangrak Hospital (Sathon Tai Road, Khwaeng Yan Nawa, Khet Sathon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, 10120, Thailand, +66 2 635 7123) and the [http://www.silomclinic.in.th/ Silom Community Clinic] at TropMed (12th Floor, Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Ratchawithi road, Ratchathewi, Bangkok, 10400, +66 2 644 6290, Hours: 4PM-9PM, Tuesday-Saturday).<ref>[http://who.int/features/2015/thailand-gonorrhoea/en/ WHO bulletin 2015]</ref> | ||
