Sustainable HIV response in Viet Nam: Overview of Viet Nam HIV expenditures and future donor commitments

Status of the HIV epidemic
The HIV epidemic in Viet Nam remains in a concentrated stage. There are signs that it may have begun to stabilize over the last two years, with a decrease in HIV prevalence among key populations at higher risk, people who inject drugs (PWID) and female sex workers (FSW) in some provinces, while prevalence trends remain stable or have increased in other provinces. According to 2011 sentinel surveillance, HIV prevalence among PWID and FSW remains high, at 13.4% and 3% respectively; IBBS data indicate that prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) also remains high, at 16.7%. The distribution of HIV cases largely follows the distribution of these three populations, though they are not absent in non-urban communities). Overall adult HIV prevalence (ages 15-49) remained at 0.45% in 2011.
