| description |
Vietnam s HIV epidemic is concentrated,
both in specific behavioral sub-populations and geographic
regions. The key populations at higher risk for HIV
infection in Vietnam are female sex workers (FSW) and their
clients; injecting drug users (IDU); and men who have sex
with men (MSM). Vietnam identified harm reduction
interventions for IDU and FSW as a key component of its last
5-year National HIV strategy 2004-2009. Harm reduction
interventions aim to reduce the dominant behavioral risk
factors that facilitate transmission of HIV in Vietnam,
namely, sharing injecting equipment and engaging in
unprotected sex. The main service components of harm
reduction for these groups include the distribution of free
sterile needle-syringes and condoms and providing behavior
change communication through peer educator-based outreach.
As the next phase of programming is planned and resources
allocated, it is important to assess the achievements of
previous programs aimed at minimizing risk of infection in
terms of coverage and epidemiological impact. This impact
assessment study has the following objectives: To examine
coverage of harm reduction interventions in Vietnam among
IDU and FSW (programs targeted for MSM were not examined)
from 2004-2009; to understand the HIV transmission dynamics
in Vietnam and to estimate the extent to which harm
reduction interventions among core groups have contributed
towards epidemiological trends and reduced HIV transmission
in Vietnam during the 2004-2009 strategy. |
