Introduction: Migrants’ vulnerability to HIV/AIDS remains a major public health issue in Thailand. Good knowledge, practices, and migrants’ attitudes towards HIV/AIDS are essential to prevent new HIV infections and spread of the disease. A prudent HIV/AIDS prevention initiative requires sharing of clear and relevant infor-mation concerning the cause, spread, symptoms, prevention, treatment, and the right to treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Material and methods: The data was extracted using a questionnaire admin-istered among 106 public health officers drawn from the Bureau of Risk Communica-tion and Health Behaviour Development, Department of Disease Control (DDC) in Thailand. It was analysed using SPSS version 22 with descriptive statistics and multi-ple correlation analysis performed to infer findings.
Results: A total of 66 women and 40 men participated in this study. No compelling mandate from the government was found demanding public health offic-ers have to interact with Burmese migrants to improve public health knowledge on HIV/AIDS. A significant number of the officers had never interacted with these mi-grants in conveying HIV/AIDS information. Most of the Burmese migrants experi-enced major problems receiving information on HIV/AIDS. They preferred the use of group training in the workplace in communicating information about the prevention, causes, spread, and symptoms of HIV/AIDS.
Conclusions: Burmese migrant workers have low levels of information about the symptoms, prevention, causes, spread, and treatment of HIV/AIDS. Public health officers should utilise group training in migrants’ workplaces, posters, and flyers in administering intervention programs.
