Many claim that HIV epidemics in Asia are increasingly shifting toward the general population, requiring a refocusing of prevention efforts. This presentation explores the evidence from modeling HIV epidemics in the countries of Asia and explores the evidence related to this claim. This issue is particularly important because of the demands to reassess the current focus in HIV-prevention programs on key populations, such as sex workers and clients, men who have sex with men, and people who inject drugs.
