-In Thailand, you can buy birth control without a prescription. It is estimated that 72-78% of women (of fertility age) are on some form of modern birth control. According to one study in 1998, 23% were on the pill, 17% had an injectable/implant and 22% had been sterilized. In the last 25 years, the government has heavily campaigned for sex workers to use condoms under the 100% Condom Program. But it has not so heavily focused on condom use in the general population. This has lead to many people outside of the sex worker community not using condoms. It has been reported that many teenage boys discourage the use of condoms and prefer for their partners to use emergency contraception instead.
