This surveillance among injecting drug users (IDUs), men having sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSWs), male labor migrants (MLM) and wives of labor migrants (WLM) was conducted on a regular basis. These surveys are aimed at assessing health risk behaviors and monitoring the trend in the prevalence of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among Most At-Risk Populations (MARPs) to inform the national HIV response in Nepal. The IBBS surveys are conducted by NCASC with technical and financial support from FHI/Nepal and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This round of the IBBS was conducted among male injecting drug users (IDUs) in Kathmandu valley. The primary objective of the survey was to collect strategic information to analyze trends in HIV prevalence, injecting drug and sexual behaviors relating to HIV and STIs among IDUs. This report details the findings of the fifth round of the IBBS conducted among 340 male IDUs in the Kathmandu Valley, recruited using Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS). A structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents at a centrally located survey center. The questionnaire collected information on sexual behavior and HIV/AIDS awareness as well as socio-demographics. After the interview, clinical examinations were conducted by a Health Assistant and blood samples were collected for HIV and syphilis testing by a lab technician. The test results were provided in coordination with pre- and post-test counseling by a trained counselor in the survey center. 2012-12-29T03:53:27Z 2022-11-08T10:20:41Z 2012-12-29T03:53:27Z 2022-11-08T10:20:41Z 2011-06 Technical Report http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/789 en_US application/pdf
