Country profile -tThe HIV/AIDS/STD Situation and the National Response in Nepal
Abstract:
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 (e.g. sex workers,injecting drug users). 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. His Majesty’s Government has recognized HIV/AIDS as a priority issue and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy 2002-2006 has been costed and operationalized. Furthermore an important event in 2003 was the approval of the 2nd round proposal submitted by Nepal to the Global Fund on AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). The aim of" HIV/AIDS/STD Situation and National Response in Nepal" booklet gave an overview of an situations and response to HIV/AIDS in Nepal,and to touch on priorities and challenges. #HIV/AIDSInNepal #STDs
