HIV/AIDS Behavioral Surveillance Survey Vietnam 2000: BSS Round 1 Results

The Behavioral Surveillance Survey (BSS) was introduced in Vietnam in 2000 to compliment the extensive sero-prevalence and passive HIV surveillance systems instituted nationally. Vietnam is currently experiencing an HIV epidemic 'concentrated' primarily in populations with specific high-risk sexual and injecting drug practices. Behavioral surveillance was conducted in five provinces - Hanoi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, HCMC, and Can Tho.
