Treatment Access for Positive MSM in the Asia Pacific

In collaboration with various community-based organisations, APN+ conducted a peer-led mixed method research project in six Asian countries to document the range of services available for MSM and transgender people living with HIV and to identify barriers to access and use of these services.

The following report consists of six separate country reports: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Singapore. Each report has a standard format and can be read independently. A summary of key findings has been included at the end of this section. Summary findings are also provided for each country report for easy reference.

Quantitative survey data forms the background of each country report, both to provide an overview of population demographics and to establish the structural barriers that shape treatment access among communities of MSM in these populations. The statistics give a sense of the size of the problem faced by local communities.
