As we stand today with this problem, there has come bigger problems then just the youth selling themselves, as a great deal of the nation have been diagnosed with STD's such as AIDS and HIV. To this day, AIDS is the main cause of death in Thailand, and it is all because of the high rates of prostitution. If all these STD's are continuously growing until a point where there's nothing we can do about it, then there is a clear reason of why the nation itself should be concerned about prostitution. Adult prostitutes whom typically run the market, get many STD's from foreigners or Thai men themselves. Having said that, this will cause the youth of Thailand to get these harmful diseases as well, and will ultimately increase the rate of deaths per year.
