Prevention and Treatment of HIV And Other Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender People. Recommendations for a Public Health Approach; 2011

The guideline is designed for use by national public health officials and managers of HIV/AIDS and STI programmes, nongovernment organizations (NGOs) including community and civil society organizations, and health workers. It may also be of interest to international funding agencies, the scientific media, health policy-makers and advocates.

This guideline will provide recommendations for regional and country partners on appropriate interventions designed to address needs of MSM and transgender people. It also provides an opportunity to highlight and emphasize the correlation between prevention and treatment in the response to the HIV epidemic among MSM and transgender people, particularly in light of increasing evidence about the preventive benefit of antiretroviral therapy (ART). This may lead to a substantial reduction in transmission at the population level.
