'Prevention of HIV is essential amongst key population'

The Mapping and Size Estimation Exercise (MSE) and the second Behavioural and Biological Surveillance Survey Research II (BBSS) of HIV/STI were conducted amongst  female sex workers (FSWs), transgender people (TGs) and Men who have Sex with Men (MSM). to provide a basis for estimating the number of these key populations in selected districts throughout the country.

MSE research has shown that preventing HIV in these populations is essential to successfully controlling the HIV epidemic in the general population, which are particularly vulnerable to HIV infections.
