Thailand and the United States began negotiating a free trade agreement in
2004. Although negotiations are now stalled, the latest version of the FTA
would restrict Thailand's ability to produce or import generic AIDS drugs.
Limpananont argues that these restrictions could have a significant impact
on Thailand's national HIV/AIDS treatment program. We anticipate a lively
discussion about the tradeoffs between the potential economic benefits of
FTAs and access to medicines.
