Over the last years the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nepal has gained ground, and
Nepal has progressed from a “low prevalence” country to one with a so-called
“concentrated” epidemic in certain sub-groups of the population. For Nepal the
window of opportunity is closing fast to effectively address the epidemic. Without mounting a vigorous, broad-based response now, AIDS may become the leading cause of death in the age group 15-49 years over the next ten years. The aim of the “The HIV/AIDS/STD Situation and the National Response in Nepal”
booklet is to give an overview of the situation and the response to HIV/AIDS in
Nepal, and to touch on priorities and challenges. This publication is jointly published by the National Centre for AIDS and STD Control (NCASC), and the United Nations Theme Group on HIV/AIDS in Nepal.
