What do we do

Currently, this programme is being implemented towards HIV prevention among female sex workers (FSWs), their clients and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), as well as other vulnerable girls and women in Kathmandu valley of Nepal. CAC Nepal directly provided integrated health services in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur district for female sex workers, their clients, and PLHA. The program focused on reduction of high-risk behaviors among sex workers in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur district as well as provided STI and VCT services for sex workers and their clients in Bhaktapur district and an essential package of care (EPC) for PLHA.
