Over 104,000 refugees from Bhutan were residing in seven camps in Eastern Nepal. This is a protracted refugee situation with the first refugees arriving in 1992. A large-scale programme of resettlement to third countries was launched in October 2007 making this one of the largest resettlement operations globally within UNHCR. As a component of the pre-resettlement medical examination a number of countries require HIV testing before departure. UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) established mechanisms to ensure that HIV infection identified during the resettlement process is handled appropriately with particular emphasis on maintaining confi dentiality and timely referral of persons for further health and psychosocial support.
