This report begins with a review of the fundamentals of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and its prevention (PMTCT). The epidemiology of HIV as it is currently understood in Nepal is analyzed for implications for women in reproductive age and their infants. Women at particularly high risk for HIV at present are female sex workers(FSWs), injecting drug users (IDUs) and wives or sexual partners of men who engage in high-risk behavior.
