In NYC, an approximate 50,000 are Nepalese New Yorker and their is zero engagement and involvement of Nepalese Society on ending the HIV and AIDS in NYS. Therefore, on January 9th 2018, as the Young individual living with HIV, first Facebook closed-group was created with a main objective to empower, engage of Nepalese New Yorker Society by 2030 to support on ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in NYS. This community also endorsed on Governor of New York, Andrew Mark Cuomo "AIDS blue print plan", which detailed three-point plan to move us closer to the end of the AIDS epidemic in NYS.
The plan includes identifying all persons with HIV who remain undiagnosed and linking them to health care; linking and retaining persons diagnosed with HIV in health care and getting them on anti-retroviral therapy to maximize HIV viral suppression, so they remain healthy and prevent further transmission; and providing access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to persons who engage in high-risk behaviors to keep them HIV negative.
