AIDS in south Asia: understanding and responding to a heterogeneous epidemic: Understanding and Responding to a Heterogenous Epidemic (Health, nutrition and population series) - Tapa blanda

South Asia's HIV epidemic is severe in magnitude and scope, with at least 60 per cent of all people with HIV in Asia living in India. Because the HIV epidemic is highly heterogeneous, designing informed, prioritised, and effective responses necessitates an understanding of the epidemic's diversity between and within countries. This review was undertaken to provide a basis for rigorous, evidence-based HIV policy and programming in South Asia.
