Abstract
Nepal is experiencing transition of HIV epidemic from a high-risk behavior groups to low risk behavior population
like housewives. The ratio of housewives infected with HIV among all HIV infected women has almost equaled.
The estimation also shows that housewives have acquired HIV three times more than the female sex workers in
absolute numbers. It is a matter of concern for all those working in HIV/AIDS and also a serious challenge to
achieve the millennium development goals.
