The report Behavioral Surveillance Survey in the Highway Route of Nepal: Round No. 4 is the first of five surveys developed to determine HIV/AIDS related behaviors of female sex workers and their clients. The goal of the report is to measure the behavioral change over time.

The complete BSS report consists of repeated cross-sectional surveys of specific target groups and provides measures of sexual behavior trends. The surveys were conducted every year for five years, from 1999 through 2003 in the AIDSCAP project area.

The project area includes highway routes and major urban areas of the Terai, covering 16 districts stretching from Bhairawa in the west (Rupendehi) to Kakadbhitta (Jhapa) in the east. This represents an expansion of the AIDSCAP I project both eastward and westward.

The complete BSS project's key interventions to target groups were:

  • Sexually transmitted infections (STI) diagnosis and treatment
  • Condom social marketing and distribution
  • Behavioral change interventions (BCI)
