“…Variations of this method have been used effectively in previous HIV research in Thailand (Watthayu, Wenzel, & Panchareounworakul, 2015). However, accommodations to dominant Thai social and cultural forms, to a degree, have rendered the Shan increasingly invisible as an ethnic group in northern Thailand (Latt, 2011). This, combined with prevalent HIV stigma in migrant groups, has made HIV-infected Shan a hard-to-reach population (National AIDS Committee, 2015).…”

“…There has been substantial HIV-related research in migrant populations in Southeast Asia overall, but a recent systematic literature review found an underrepresentation of studies in Thailand and Myanmar (Weine & Kashuba, 2012) and relatively little is known about the large number of migrant Shan living in Thailand (Grundy-Warr & Yin, 2002; Guadamuz et al, 2010; Latt, 2011; Verma, Su, Chan, & Muennig, 2011). Even in studies of migrant populations in Thailand, including those of Karen, Mon, Laotian, and Khmer ethnic groups, many have excluded the Shan or aggregated them together in Burmese or “other” categories (Ford & Chamrathrithirong, 2007; Mullany, Maung, & Beyrer, 2003).…”

Migrant populations face increased HIV vulnerabilities, including limited access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Civil conflict in Myanmar has displaced thousands of people from the minority Shan ethnic group into northern Thailand, where they bear a disproportionate HIV burden. To identify barriers and facilitators of ART use in this population, we conducted a rapid ethnographic assessment and case study with a clinical sample of Shan migrants receiving treatment for HIV in a district hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Thai nurses providing their care, and health care administrators (n = 23). Barriers included fears of arrest and deportation, communication difficulties, perceived social marginalization, limited HIV knowledge, and lack of finances. Facilitating factors included hospital-based migrant registration services and community outreach efforts involving support group mobilization, referral practices, and radio broadcasts. These findings provided a contextualized account to inform policies, community interventions, and nursing practice to increase treatment access for minority migrant groups.
