| סיכום: | Executive Summary: Scientific evidence has established correlations between STI and HIV/AIDS, and studies carried out in Nepal have shown a higher than average prevalence of STIs and HIV/AIDS among female sex workers (FSWs), transport workers (TWs) and drug users, compared with the test of the population. There are about 2,200 registered vehicles, with around 7,000 TWs involved in the road transpiration sector on the mid western highways of Nepal, yet there is a significant lack of hard on the prevalence of STIs and the risk factors among these workers. This study therefore focuses on investigating the prevalence of STIs and the associated risk factors among the TWs who ply theirvehicles along the mid and far western highways of Nepal. |
