Kyrgyzstan is situated along one of the world's largest heroin trafficking routes, and has a concentrated HIV epidemic driven largely by injecting drug use. In 2008, with funding from the Global Fund, Kyrgyzstan established a pilot program of opioid substitution treatment (OST) in the prison setting with the aim of reducing HIV transmission.
