Abstract
Abstract Thailand is widely applauded for its response to HIV/ AIDS. Yet, Thailand has largely ignored the problems of HIV/AIDS among MSM, despite a flourishing male commercial sex industry. This paper represents the author's observations of the male sex industry in Bangkok and Chaing Mai, Thailand, during the XV International AIDS Conference (IAC). I found a lack of abstracts presented at the XV IAC on young male sex workers in Thailand. I describe how MSW (money-boys) sell sex and suffer from stigma. I discuss the public health implications of these insights and offer some research questions to guide examinations of how MSW in Thailand negotiate sex, condoms, work, and Stigma.
