Bangladesh has an internationally recognized and well-established 2nd generation HIV/AIDS surveillance system in place, which helps to closely monitor the HIV situation and to understand the levels of risk behavior associated with HIV infection within population groups surveyed. Groups so far included in the surveillance system have been male, female and transgender sex workers, men who have sex with men, injecting drug users and representatives of 'clients of sex workers groups' such as rickshaw pullers, truckers, STD patients, dock workers, launch workers, 'babus' and students.

| A survey was undertaken during September–November 2003 to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of the general population and the youth with regards to HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention at seven sites in Myanmar. A total of 9678 individuals (4631 males and 5047 females) were interviewed. Of these, 35% were youth aged 15–24 years. Although 91% of the population had heard about HIV/AIDS, only 35% knew about the methods of HIV prevention and barely 27% were able to correctly reject the common misconceptions about HIV transmission. The youth, women and the less educated had the lowest knowledge about HIV prevention. Less than a quarter of the respondents were willing to buy food from an HIV-infected vendor and just half of them expressed willingness to care for an HIV-infected relative. Only a quarter of those with sexually transmitted disease (STD) symptoms sought treatment; a large proportion of them consulted a private practitioner or took self treatment and only 15% visited a government hospital. About 7% of men had sex with a non-regular partner in the last year; nearly two-thirds of them had unprotected sex (only 54% men used condom consistently with a commercial sex worker and 18% with a casual acquaintance). While 68% respondents expressed the intent for voluntary confidential counseling and testing (VCCT), a meagre 5% actually got tested for HIV infection and received their results.
