Currently, HIV AIDS is seen as a common disease. AIDS is not discussed much because the disease can be cured by taking medicine. But in the 50s, AIDS was a terrible disease. There were few people who survived the disease. In particular, unprotected sex and blood-borne germs used to cause HIV AIDS disease.

AIDS patients were found in Nepal for the first time in 1988. He was a foreigner . In 1989, Maya Tamang was diagnosed as an AIDS patient. He died shortly after. According to official data, she was the first person to have AIDS in Nepal. In 1990, the number of AIDS patients reached 5, and by the end of 1992, i.e. in the 2050s, this number had increased to 188.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the incidence of selling women into sex trade in India increased greatly. Since AIDS is also transmitted through sexual contact, the original source was the Kothi of India. Girls who were sold in India used to come back to Nepal with HIV AIDS disease . There was no treatment for it. Because some women do not know about the disease, they were helping to spread the disease by having sexual contact in Nepal as well. 

In the 50s, one AIDS patient was found in Nepal every 4 days. Organizations active in the health sector estimated that the number of patients was higher because the reports of those who underwent blood tests in private hospitals and clinics were kept confidential. 

Among the 188 people diagnosed with the disease, 96 were women aged 20 to 30 years. Some women returned to Nepal after becoming ill after engaging in sex business in India. According to the report at that time, there were also cases of sex workers in Kothi being sent to Nepal after falling ill. Many girls with AIDS used to come back pregnant. 

Since there was no medicine, precautions used to be the main thing to avoid the disease . There was a lack of effective media to raise awareness about AIDS. At that time, there was no radio or television in everyone's house . Radio Nepal, Nepal Television and newspapers were the news sources at that time. Newspapers were not able to reach all places in villages and cities.  On the one hand, the study showed that residents of rural areas did not understand the language of radio. It was a society that did not understand words like sexual contact and physical contact. It was difficult to convey the correct message due to language problems. 

Talking about sex and using shields was not possible to reach the target group . Government efforts were not very effective. There was also a problem in spreading awareness because of the shyness to talk openly about sex. 

The problem of HIV AIDS was global. But it was more visible in South Asian countries. Until the 50s, it was estimated that AIDS germs entered the body of nearly 5,000 people in Nepal. Financial support was also taken from organizations including the World Health Organization for the prevention of AIDS through public awareness.

93 non-governmental organizations were established in Nepal for the purpose of working on AIDS. The Planning Commission was also preparing to make a national policy on AIDS. On November 16, 2050, Kantipur Dainik published a news titled "The growth rate of AIDS in Nepal is appalling, lack of national policy" covering the entry of AIDS disease in Nepal, the problems arising from it and its effects.
