HIV/AIDS prevalence in Bangladesh is relatively low. However, the large migrant population is a significant cause of new HIV infections, and as of now there are no national programs that target intervention of Bangladeshi migrant workers.
For World AIDS Day, UNICEF released their fifth annual stock-taking report looking at the current state of HIV among children and young people. Overall, the number of people getting care and treatment is on the rise, but it’s still not high enough to stop the epidemic.
