Behavioral and social issues among volunteers in a preventive HIV vaccine trial in Thailand
Article Abstract:
An investigation was carried out in Thailand about behavioral and social issues among preventive HIV-1 vaccine trial volunteers, that included issues like risk behavior, HIV knowledge, distress and social consequences of vaccine trial participation. The report showed low levels of risk behavior, no experience of discrimination in family, friend circle, employment, health care, insurance and high HIV-related knowledge, which adds to the evidence to feasibility of preventive HIV vaccine in Thailand.

Evaluation of behavioral and social issues among Thai HIV vaccine trial volunteers
Article Abstract:
HIV vaccine trials, especially those outside of North America and Europe have raised some controversial issues. Behavioral side effects, such as increased risk behavior in response to a perceptiuon of increased protection, have been posited. Also, there have been concerns about social discrimination against volunteers associated with an HIV vaccine test. In the Thai tests, risk behavior was low both prior to the testing and also at followup. Approximately 20% reported negative responses and attitudes from family and friends. However, there were no reports of problematic discrimination in employment, helath care, or insurance coverage.
