AIDS has already orphaned 20,000 children in Nepal, and there are an estimated 5000 children living with HIV/AIDS

KATHMANDU, Dec 11: AIDS has already orphaned 20,000 children in Nepal, and there are an estimated 5000 children living with HIV/AIDS, says the world’s children report 2010, released Wednesday by the UN’s Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).

The children belong to 0-14 age group, and the figures are based on figures updated until 2001-end. The situation, according to the report, is no less appalling in such neighbouring countries as Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka.

While the report is silent on the situation of HIV/AIDS among children in China, it says that there are an estimated 170,000 children who are living with HIV/AIDS in India, Nepal’s giant neighbour in the south with which it shares an open border

Users (IDUs), men who have sex with men (MSM), and migrants. There is an urgent need to scale up effective interventions, especially among IDUs. Nepal's poverty, political instability and gender inequality, combined with low levels of education and literacy make the task all the more challenging, as do the denial, stigma, and discrimination that surround HIV/AIDS.

The first case of AIDS in Nepal was reported in 1988. Since then, the numbers have risen among the country’s 28 million people. By the end of 2005, more than 950 cases of AIDS and over 5,800 cases of HIV infection were officially reported, with three times as many men reported to be infected as women. However, given the limitations of Nepal’s public health surveillance system, the actual number of infections is expected to be much higher. UNAIDS estimates that 75,000 people were living with HIV at the end of 2007bbbMillion people were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2012

Nepal’s HIV epidemic is largely concentrated in high-risk groups, especially female sex workers (FSW), IDUs, MSM and migrants. Injection drug use appears to be extensive in Nepal and to overlap with commercial sex. Another important factor is the high number of sex workers who migrate or are trafficked to Mumbai, India to work, thereby increasing HIV prevalence in the sex workers’ network in Nepal more rapidly
