Who are we kidding?

Burma did not have AIDS problem but they do NOW -  transmitted through 
needles and of course, sex.

Cases have been reported in Lashio, Mandalay and Rangoon.

And to correct the sentence - I think it is mostly friends, family members 
and some business men who frequent these "houses" and "discos".  Not 
majority of them are from the military.

Okkar, I think the general meant , and quite correctly, that Myanmar sends 
its ethnic women to Thailand after raping them.  This keeps the AIDS in 
Thailand, where it belongs.

Concerning the brothels that are appearing in Rangoon and other cities, 
these are mostly frequented by military personnel, and therefore can be 
considered a function of military policy, rather than commercial 
prostitution.
