National Health Sector Response to HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Sri Lanka 2017: External Review Report

Sri Lanka, during these last five years, has successfully maintained its low HIV prevalence status although numbers of HIV positive cases have been slowly rising over the years. The main population groups with a rising number of HIV positive cases have been males having sex with males (MSM) and returnee external migrant workers. However, numbers are not high so that identifying the key populations (KPs) in Sri Lanka is not straightforward.
