  18. Establishment of MMT database system • Real-time and fixed-time reporting system • Follow-up and monitoring system • Lab-based management system • Intelligent card-system (IC card)

  19. Evaluation of MMT Program

  20. HIV New Infections

  23. ART Over 67900 patients in Free ART program • 35%- Former plasma donors • 35%- Sexually infected • 16%- Drug users • 14%- Others

  24. Harm Reduction Strategy MMT: • Reduce drug use, drug related crime and • Reduce transmission of HIV/AIDS • Improve quality of life of drug users – developing a harmonious society • Shrink heroin markets • Reduce the number of new drug users MMT Services should be utilized as much as possible

  25. Harm Reduction Strategy NEPs: Only addresses injecting related AIDS epidemic,not targeted at reducing drug use or drug-related crime • Urban areas and the places where IDUs concentrated use MMT • Remote and rural areas and the places where IDUs not concentrated use NEPs

  26. Challenge • Personnel Capacity • Gaps between Policy & Implementation • Coverage of the intervention • More social and other supports
