The UNGASS Nepal Country Progress Report Nepal 2010 covers the period 2008 - 2009. Nepal’s HIV and AIDS epidemic which is concentrated amongst most-at-risk populations (MARPs) is not uniform but a mix of multiple types of epidemics in various regions/zones and districts. A high proportion of migrants with risk behavior in the Far West has added a new dimension to the epidemic. According to the 2007 national estimates of HIV infection, about 70,000 people are infected with HIV in Nepal, 80% of whom are unaware of their status. As of December 2009 total reported HIV cases are 14320. The estimated adult HIV prevalence rate of Nepal was 0.49%, and nearly 50% of total HIV infections were recorded along the highway districts across the country. While the overall HIV prevalence among the labour migrants and rural/urban women is low, the labour migrants and low risk women (rural and urban) account for almost 40% and 26% to total infection respectively.
