UNAIDS, UNODC and WHO today announced an initiative to expand HIV prevention services to injecting drug users (IDUs) at the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP).
The initiative, “Prevention of Transmission of HIV Among Drug Users in SAARC Countries”, aims to assist governments and communities to reduce the spread of HIV among drug users and their regular sex partners in SAARC countries.
The project will scale up prevention and care programmes, including drug substitution treatment and safer practices, using outreach to provide drug users with referral to services, clean needles and syringes, voluntary confidential HIV counselling and testing and condom promotion. read more
