WHAT DOES UNODC DO TO CONTAIN AND REVERSE DRUG-ABUSE-DRIVEN HIV IN SOUTH ASIA?
Prevention and care interventions need to be comprehensive and multi-sectoral to address the needs of these very diverse vulnerable populations. To prevent a new wave of HIV/AIDS epidemics, UNODC considers it essential that such interventions be evidence-based and scaled-up immediately. We see our role as one which encourages countries to adopt a comprehensive package of prevention and care interventions as outlined in the UNAIDS Policy Position Paper. We also see our role as one of helping to build the capacity of government agencies and civil society organizations to implement these interventions.
