Achieving an AIDS-Free Generation for Gay Men and Other MSM: Financing and Implementation of HIV Programs Targeting MSM

Achieving an AIDS-Free Generation for Gay Men and Other MSM: Financing and Implementation of HIV Programs Targeting MSM
The report provides a comprehensive analysis to date of HIV-related funding and programming for MSM. The report also suggests actionable steps to improve the HIV response among MSM. A careful examination of MSM-related policies through donor and multilateral agencies reveals improved efforts but persistently inadequate investments and limited accountability for better results. On-the-ground consultations in eight epidemiologically diverse countries highlighted some models for success combined with persistent, widespread stigma in all contexts and a lack of even the most basic HIV prevention services for MSM in most. The research in this report confirms that countries that criminalize same-sex sexual practices spend fewer resources on HIV-related health services for MSM, do less to track and understand the epidemic in their nations, and are more likely to repurpose donor funds intended to fight the epidemic among MSM. However, criminalization is only one obstacle to effective HIV programs for MSM. Stigma and discrimination in all contexts play equally important roles.

Lessons from The Front Lines: Trans Health and Rights

Lessons From The Front Lines: Trans Health and Rights
The report, available in both English and Spanish, examines data on access to health services and legal protections for transgender individuals in different settings, and details how societal stigma and institutionalized discrimination come together to create nearly insurmountable challenges for these populations and the organizations that serve them. More importantly, however, the report describes how grassroots organizations have confronted, responded to, and in some cases solved, many of the myriad challenges that confront them. The organizations profiled have achieved their successes through a combination of personal courage, determination, teamwork, and employing bold and creative strategies.

Achieving an AIDS-Free Generation for Gay Men and Other MSM in Southern Africa

Achieving an AIDS-Free Generation for Gay Men and Other MSM in Southern Africa
This report provides a comprehensive analysis to date of HIV-related funding and programming for MSM in six Southern African countries (Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabawe and Swaziland). The report also suggests actionable steps to improve the HIV response among MSM. A careful examination of MSM-related policies through donor and multilateral agencies reveals improved efforts but persistently inadequate investments and limited accountability for better results. On-the-ground consultations in the six countries highlighted some models for success combined with persistent, widespread stigma in all contexts and a lack of even the most basic HIV prevention services for MSM in most. The research in this report confirms that countries that criminalize same-sex sexual practices spend fewer resources on HIV-related health services for MSM, do less to track and understand the epidemic in their nations, and are more likely to repurpose donor funds intended to fight the epidemic among MSM. However, criminalization is only one obstacle to effective HIV programs for MSM. Stigma and discrimination in all contexts play equally important roles.

Prévention et traitement de l'infection à vih et des autres infections sexuellement transmissibles chez les hommes ayant des rapports sexuels avec d'autres hommes et chez les personnes transgenres
Cette directive fournira des recommandations pour les partenaires régionaux et nationaux sur appropriée interventions visant à répondre aux besoins des HSH et transgenres. Il fournit également un occasion de souligner et de mettre l’accent sur la corrélation entre la prévention et de traitement en la réponse à l’épidémie de VIH chez les HSH et les personnes transgenres, en particulier à la lumière de plus en plus évident sur ​​le bénéfice préventif de la thérapie antirétrovirale (ART ). Ceci peut conduire à une réduction substantielle de la transmission au niveau de la population.
