It has been documented that Nepal has a concentrated epidemic where most at risk populations presented HIV prevalence above 5%. Data generated through the systematic, ongoing collection of data through National HIV surveillance systems is necessary to understand the dynamics of the epidemic and enable appropriate responses. Surveillance activities need to be adapted as the HIV epidemic evolves. Based on these facts and the principles of HIV Second
Generation Surveillance a team of both national and international experts undertook a review of the HIV surveillance system in Nepal. The main objective of the review was to identify the strengths and the gaps of the surveillance system in order to provide recommendations to improve the HIV surveillance system in Nepal.
