"Pakistan is considered a low-prevalence but high-risk country due to low number of reported cases and high prevalence of risk factors of HIV/AIDS. Though it is not a dominant disease in the adult population of Pakistan, the presence of additional risks such as sexual contact with high-risk groups, and unscreened blood, etc, makes it likely that the disease spreads and becomes a major public health issue."
