Abstract
Faced with four overlapping epidemics -- drug use, sexually transmitted infections, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis -- Central Asia may face a serious crisis in 20 years' time unless concerted action is taken now. This study, geared to policymakers, provides an epidemiological update and looks at actions taken already by governments, NGOs, and donors in four Central Asian countries. It finds that injecting drug users, sex workers, prisoners and youth at risk are barely attended to, while truck drivers and migrants are overlooked all together.Publisher:
