Gender & Sexual Diversity Training: A Facilitator’s Guide for Public Health and HIV Programs

This version of the Gender & Sexual Diversity Training curriculum was developed specifically for PEPFAR staff and their country-level implementing partners to help country programs understand and address the needs of gender and sexual minority communities in the context of HIV programming, U.S. workplace policy on non-discrimination, and through a human rights lens. The guide was developed by the USAID- and PEPFAR-funded Health Policy Project, in coordination with a U.S. Government inter-agency team made up of members of the PEPFAR Key Populations Working Group and the PEPFAR Gender Technical Working Group.

Standard Operating Procedures for Implementing HIV Programmes among Key Populations: Ghana

There is need for sustained HIV prevention, care, and treatment, especially among key populations (KP) who comprise as much as 40 percent or more of new HIV infections. As activities are scaled up and more stakeholders and actors are involved in the provision of KP interventions, there is the need to ensure that a standardised set of services is provided to all KPs in a non-stigmatising and confidential manner. These Standard Operating Procedures have been developed as one of the essential and fundamental activities outlined in the National MARP Strategic Plan 2011-2015. They are designed to systematise the strategies employed under the NSP 2011–2015 and its M&E Plan.

Global Policy, Local Disconnects A Look into the Implementation of the 2013 HIV Treatment Guidelines

One year after the release of the updated WHO Consolidated Guidelines on the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs for Treating and Preventing HIV Infection, ITPC investigated what the reality was on the ground for people living with HIV. In the 2013 update, WHO recommended that all people living with HIV be offered the opportunity to start treatment immediately after their diagnosis. “Global Policy, Local Disconnect” draws on ITPC’s Regional Networks and ARASA partners in Southern Africa, to survey a cross-section of people living with HIV, service providers and other stakeholders across the globe, to uncover the real story of access to HIV treatment.
