The HIV epidemic in Pakistan has now transmitted to female spouses of HIV-positive injection drug users (IDUs) and bisexual men, and to preadolescent children through vertical transmission. Owing to sociocultural barriers, HIV-infected pregnant women and children do not have optimum access to treatment, hindering the prevention of HIV transmission.
巴基斯坦的艾滋病毒疫情现已传播到艾滋病毒阳性注射吸毒者（IDU）和双性恋男性的女性配偶，以及通过垂直传播感染的未成年儿童。由于社会文化障碍，艾滋病毒感染的孕妇和儿童无法获得最佳治疗，阻碍了艾滋病毒传播的预防。
