Abstract

Improving healthcare systems is crucial to effectively control the rapidly spreading HIV epidemic in Pakistan. Using insights from a range of research and reports, this abstract explores the complex issues impeding the nation's efforts to address the rising number of HIV cases. Important issues include widespread stigma, low health literacy, limited access to high-quality medical assistance and the rise of quackery. Strategic interventions are required to overcome these obstacles, such as focused awareness campaigns, better access to testing and treatment, improved training for healthcare professionals and stricter laws to curb quackery. Pakistan may improve their healthcare services and significantly slow the HIV epidemic by overcoming these issues and implementing strong control measures in place.
