Tackling the World's Fastest-Growing HIV Epidemic : More Efficient HIV Responses in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

The Eastern Europe and Central Asia region has the world’s fastest growing HIV epidemic. Although still concentrated, the epidemic has diversified, affecting several key populations in many countries. This change has increased the number of people in need, the ways the epidemic can spread, and the c...
