In December 2021, Ed (not his real name), a migrant Filipino in Thailand suspected that he had contracted HIV due to symptoms such as herpes, fever, and weight loss. After conducting a quick Google search and reaching out to HIV advocates in the Philippines, he was referred to Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand (RSAT) in Ramkamhaeng, Bangkok. RSAT is a registered community organization that collaborates with people with sexual diversity in Thailand. Like many in the LGBT community, Ed is aware that society is quick to condemn them due to their sexual and gender orientation, particularly among migrant Filipinos.
