    One absolutely amazing thing about Dr Donna is the fact that she has a Thai Medical licence. To get this licence you need to pass the Thai Medical Board exams in Thai. Dr Donna must speak, read and write fluent Thai in order to pass the exams. It makes the achievement all the more incredible. If I am not mistaken Dr Donna is one of only a few foreign Doctors licenced to practice in Thailand. At one point I think she was the only one.

    The late 80s early 90s HIV was a frightening reality here in Thailand, it was something we were quite aware of then. Thailand was a world leader in HIV prevention ,education and treatment which is why developing nations look to Thailand for practical knowledge. Thailand acted faster than any other nation, implementing programs that would take the west almost a decade to get their head around and implement saving possibly hundreds of thousands.
    In the 90s Thailand sent delegates to Australia to visit harm reduction projects and targeted free clinics to gain more knowledge in those areas.

      Stupid response from a doctor. Many people survive cancer and don't have to take medications for the rest of their life unlike HIV/AIDS. Also, many HIV positive people say that the reality of living with their symptoms and constant risk of developing new HIV related illnesses is grossly underrated. Kidney failure, pneumonia, blindness, infections, rashes etc ARE GROSSLY UNDERRATED ! MANY PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER ONCE THEY REACH REMISSION DON'T HAVE A LAUNDRY LIST OF LIFE THREATENING SYMPTOMS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ! THEY DON'T LIVE WITH CONSTANT RISK OF REPEATED HOSPITAL VISITS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES ! SO SICK OF THESE ATOMIC LIES FROM LIBERALS !

    I love how governments and the media made the sheeple think that someone who is against the covid jab is somehow “anti vax” lol. Well, the minority may actually be against all vaccinations, but the vast majority of people who refused the vaccination, are people who had questions and concerns about this particular vaccine. People like me. I have some vaccinations, but I would never get this particular vaccination. It’s the same as saying, if you don’t like Guinness beer, you are against drinking all beer. It’s such a crazy way to think and it’s shocking how many people bought into this terminology / indoctrination that was only created to divide people against each other. The doctor makes some good points, but in terms of the vaccine, she’s off her rocker. But I have come to accept that we cannot trust doctors like we thought we could pre-Covid . She stated after she got jabbed she felt safe to go outside again. We now know from documented research and case studies, that people who were jabbed were more likely to get Covid than people who were not jabbed. I’m not going to go on a Covid rant, but I did find some of her comments, very irresponsible and lacking in fact..

What is the rate of HIV patients as well as other common sexual diseases vs other countries? How to effectively avoid sexual disease? Besides HIV, what other sexual diseases are prevalent? And how to take precaution? So many questions that can be asked to a medical doctor left unanswered. I hope Pete can do another interview with perhaps another doctor to address these questions.

    She seems like a nice competent doctor but isn't the problem with doctors is that they take information from pharmaceutical companies "not good guys". There is a total cognitive dissonance on the V and stats. Mostly there is no smoke without fire and there is quite a lot of smoke on communicating information.

    Back in the 90's it was a real deal over there. I tested twice on holidays and it was a terribly frightening experience going in for the results a few days later....only after MANY Singha's...LOL

    Sure as she says the HIV rate is low compared to USA for example but it's still the highest in Asia. Also she mentions it's higher among certain groups which of course she means sex workers where the rate is around 20-30%. Freelancers it's probably higher.

    A good interview. I like that doctor. I notice she doesn’t mention the importance of condom use. Vaccines can work too but condoms are paramount. Somebody wearing a condom should prevent all STDs. Abstinence is still the best preventive tool. Most people won’t be abstinent so a condom is probably their best STD and pregnancy prevention tool. 😃👌🏻👍🏻

    Evidently she knows nothing of the current injections and the harm that they are causing...pulling the narrative because she doesn't want to lose her business after the junta sees this.

    First I was frightened too about STD's and HIV in Thailand. But when you really get to know the ''working girls'' you will know that they do a lot of STD-testing. For example, at almost all a-gogo-bars a weekly STD + pregnancy test is required. And loads of tourists and expats are regulary doing STD-checks too. Ofcourse there are some risk groups but from that type of low class environment I stay away anyways. Risk groups are very cheap working girls and gay man. However, always better be safe then sorry 😁
