&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thailand has&amp;nbsp;the highest prevalence of&amp;nbsp;HIV&amp;nbsp;among countries in Asia but&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;been&amp;nbsp;a pioneer in&amp;nbsp;HIV prevention&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;treatment&amp;nbsp;efforts in the region, reducing the incidence of new infections significantly over the&amp;nbsp;last&amp;nbsp;two&amp;nbsp;decades.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Building upon this remarkable history, &lt;strong&gt;Thailand has set an ambitious goal to stop the AIDS epidemic in the country by 2030.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Thailand provides affordable generics medications as well as original medications, in the last 5 years there are more people travelling from more than 130 countries around the world to receive affordable high quality healthcare in Thailand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PULSE clinic is established since 2015 in the center of Bangkok, expanded to tourist destination such as Phuket island, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Singapore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In the past years, we have received thousands of patients receiving either HIV prevention service or HIV treatment service in our branches. One of the most common questions is about how legit is the drug and how to identify real drugs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The Monthly Index of Medical Specialities or MIMS is a pharmaceutical prescribing reference guide published in the United Kingdom since 1959 by Haymarket Media Group. The guide contains information about branded and generic drugs in many countries, United Kingdom, Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia included. We are going to use photos from MIMS as a reference of the pill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;We would like&amp;nbsp;to discuss about one medication (with many brands available nowadays) which can be used as prevention (PrEP or PEP) and also be used as part of combination for HIV treatment, Emtricitabine 200mg/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg, the 2 in 1 pill that is used widely around the world today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;As of 24 October 2021, Thailand has 4 brands of Emtricitabine 200mg/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg registered and distributed;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.
