National Guidelines Community-Led HIV Testing 2017 Nepal

Due to social and biomedical advances, and increased funding, the response to HIV globally has yielded remarkable results. There are better, improved tools for screening, diagnostics, and treatment of HIV. Community responses to HIV are also established as the cornerstone of effective, equitable and sustainable HIV programmes. People living with HIV, or at increased risk of HIV play a critical role in demanding and delivering services, supporting systems for health, and reaching those who are most vulnerable to HIV, where state facilities cannot, or are not equipped to do so.
