Advocacy groups in Bangkok protested outside the Royal Thai Police headquarters, demanding the removal of a regulation banning people living with HIV from joining the police force. The groups argue that the rule is discriminatory and outdated, as advances in medical treatment allow individuals with HIV to live normal lives and work effectively. They also emphasized the U=U principle, stating that those with undetectable viral loads cannot transmit the virus. The groups called for immediate removal of HIV from the list of prohibited conditions and revisions to recruitment criteria in line with human rights and modern science.
