As a result, informed, prioritized, and effective responses necessitate an understanding of the epidemic diversity between and within countries. Further spread of HIV in South Asia is preventable. The future size of South Asia's epidemic will depend on an effective two-pronged approach: firstly, on the scope and effectiveness of HIV prevention programs for sex workers and their clients, injecting drug users and their sexual partners, and men having sex with men and their other sexual partners; and secondly, on the effectiveness of efforts to address the underlying socio-economic determinants of the epidemic, and to reduce stigma and discrimination towards people engaging in high risk behaviors, often marginalized in society, as well as people living with HIV and AIDS.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMEADULT POPULATIONAIDS CASESAIDS COMMITTEEAIDS EPIDEMICANAL SEXANTENATAL CLINICBEHAVIORAL CHANGEBEHAVIORAL SURVEILLANCEBLOOD DONORSBLOOD PRODUCTSBLOOD SAFETYBLOOD SAMPLESCAPACITY BUILDINGCIVIL SOCIETY GROUPSCLINIC PATIENTSCOMMERCIAL SEXCONDOMCONDOM PROMOTIONCONDOM USEDISCRIMINATIONDISEASEDISEASE CONTROLDISEASE RESEARCHDISSEMINATIONDRUG SUPPLIESDRUGSEFFECTIVE POLICIESEFFECTIVE PREVENTIONEPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSISEPIDEMIOLOGYFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY HEALTH INTERNATIONALFAMILY WELFAREFEMALE SEX WORKERSFEMALESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER INEQUITYHARM REDUCTIONHEALTHHEALTH AUTHORITIESHEALTH CENTERSHIGH-RISKHIGH-RISK BEHAVIORHIGH-RISK BEHAVIORSHIGH-RISK GROUPSHIGH-RISK POPULATIONSHIVHIV DATAHIV EPIDEMICSHIV INFECTIONHIV PREVALENCEHIV PREVENTIONHIV TRANSMISSIONHIV-POSITIVE PEOPLEHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN TRAFFICKINGILLITERACYIMMUNE DEFICIENCYIMMUNODEFICIENCYINFECTIONSINITIATION OF SEXINJECTING DRUG USEINJECTING DRUG USERSINJECTING DRUGSINJECTION DRUGINJECTION DRUG USEINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONLARGE POPULATIONLEGAL STATUSLOCAL POPULATIONMALE CIRCUMCISIONMIGRANTMIGRANTSMINISTRY OF HEALTHNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL AIDS CONTROLNATIONAL HEALTHNEEDLE EXCHANGENEEDLESNUTRITIONPEOPLE WITH HIVPLACE OF RESIDENCEPOPULATION ACTIVITIESPREGNANT WOMENPREVENTION EFFORTSPREVENTION STRATEGIESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONREPRODUCTIVE TRACTRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPONSE TO AIDSRISK OF HIV TRANSMISSIONRISK OF INFECTIONRISK POPULATIONSRISKY SEXRURAL COMMUNITIESSERVICE DELIVERYSEX PARTNERSSEX TRADESEX WITH MENSEX WORKSEX WORKERSEXUAL BEHAVIORSSEXUAL CONTACTSEXUAL NETWORKINGSEXUAL NETWORKSSEXUAL PARTNERSEXUAL PARTNERSSEXUAL PARTNERSHIPSSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPSEXUAL TRANSMISSIONSMOKINGSOCIAL STATUSSOCIAL STATUS OF WOMENSOCIOECONOMIC FACTORSSOUTH ASIANSPREAD OF HIVSTDSTD CONTROLSURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIESTRANSPORTATIONTREATMENTTUBERCULOSISUNAIDSUNFPAUNPROTECTED ANAL INTERCOURSEURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONVIRAL LOADVOLUNTARY COUNSELINGVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6757-5
