At a Bangkok clinic housed in a community center, a client is counseled and tested for HIV. The center is run by the NGO Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand with support from a Global Fund grant, and serves key populations such as men who have sex with men. “Our biggest challenge is fighting stigma and fear, but at our centre we have built trust, so our members feel comfortable and at home when they come in for testing,” says Kamolset Kanggerrner, a clinic staff member of Rainbow Sky Association. In addition to doing about ten HIV tests a day, Rainbow Sky also conducts HIV prevention workshops, counseling and outreach services targeting saunas and bars, through a network of volunteers.
