Global Summary of Findings of an Assessment of HIV Services Packages for Key Populations in Six Regions
Resource | Publications,

In 2017, key populations (KP) and their sexual partners accounted for approximately 40% of new HIV infections globally (UNAIDS, 2018). A range of policy and legal barriers and harmful social dynamics increase the HIV vulnerability of KP and undermine their access to HIV and other services. The criminalization of sex between men, sex work, drug use and HIV transmission, as well as high rates of incarceration, homophobia, trans phobia, violence and social marginalization, all serve to influence risk practices and undermine access to services.

Report of Effective Social Contracting for HIV Service Delivery in Thailand
Resource | Publications,
Thailand has made outstanding progress in reversing the AIDS epidemic. To achieve the government’s commitment on Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 to end AIDS by 2030, several challenges remain particularly ensuring that key populations (KPs) are the focus of interventions. Evidence has shown that civil society organisations (CSOs) are more capable of reaching out and maintaining connections with KPs than public healthcare providers. Funding support from the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria (Global Fund) and other international development partners (IDPs) for addressing HIV/AIDS is gradually diminishing.
