Perhaps all of us know Nepal government has given priority to control the HIV/AIDS epidemics in Nepal and moving forward with necessary response
In 1988, Nepal launched the first National AIDS Prevention and Control Programme. This programme, known as the Short-Term Plan for AIDS Prevention and Control, formed the basis for the First Medium Term Plan 1990-92. This programme was externally reviewed in December 1992 and on the basis of the recommendations made during the review, the Second Medium Term Plan for AIDS Prevention and Control in Nepal was formulated covering the years 1993-97.
Currenly the country is implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy 2006-2011 and the National Action Plan 2008-2011.
