Pathways to health services for cross-border migrants living with HIV: Nepalese and Bangladeshis at home and in destination sites in India

This Project Briefing explores the experiences of people living with HIV (PLHIV) as they migrate. Drawing on small-scale qualitative studies in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, we explore their migration experiences and their patterns of HIV diagnosis and treatment. We then provide examples of the barriers they face in accessing health services (including antiretroviral therapy, care and support services) at source and destination. This is followed by an outline of how EMPHASIS has addressed these barriers. It concludes with some recommendations.
