Publications on Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)

This fourth round of IBBS survey recruited 400 men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people (TG) in Kathmandu Valley (Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur).

This Policy Brief is adapted from the UNDP and APCOM report, titled ‘Legal environments, human rights and HIV responses among men who have sex with men and transgender people in Asia and the Pacific: An agenda for action’, covering 48 countries and territories of the Asia and Pacific region.

The first case of HIV in Papua New Guinea (PNG) was reported in 1987. By 2004, the country had declared a generalized epidemic, the fourth country in the Asia Pacific region to do so. 

Urgent action is needed to control the expanding HIV epidemic in the Philippines. After many years of stable, low-level transmission, the number of cases detected has risen an average of 62% in each of the past five years.

This report documents, the presentations and discussions made during the Youth Voices Count 2nd Consultation on Self-stigma Among Young Men who have sex with men and transgender people: Voices from the community, held from 2-5 October 2012 at Bangkok, Thailand.

The delivery of HIV/STI-related services to vulnerable populations is Timor-Leste’s most obvious investment in the well being of its marginal populations. Based on trends from previous studies, HIV and STI infections amongst the target populations are increasing.

Organized as a regular public health surveillance programme to track the epidemic and inform intervention, the third round of PRiSM was conducted from July 2011 to February 2012.

The purpose of HIV sentinel survey is to track HIV infection levels through 'watch post' institutions. These sentinel institutions routinely draw blood for other purposes.

Clinical trials of daily oral PrEP for uninfected individuals have shown evidence of effectiveness.

This report is aimed at assisting in building the case for the need for significant improvements across prevention and impact mitigation interventions leading to a “value for money”, cost-effective national response.
