DSD for Key and Priority Populations
As countries scale up differentiated service delivery (DSD) for HIV, there are important implications for key populations—sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, transgender people, prisoners, and others.
Designing person-centered DSD prevention, testing/linkage, and treatment models that are attuned to the issues of stigma and access specific to each group will be critical to ensuring equity and achieving HIV epidemic control.
Meetings and Conferences
CQUIN in collaboration with FHI 360, the South-to-South HIV Prevention Learning Network (SSLN), and the International Network of People who Use Drugs (INPUD), co-hosted a session at the the 24th International AIDS Conference in Montreal, Canada, in July 2022. The session centered community voices from Africa in a panel and keynote address by a representative from the international network of people who use drugs in Africa (AfricaINPUD.) In addition, representatives from participating organizations presented case studies from three diverse settings.
CQUIN in collaboration with the South-to-South HIV Prevention Learning Network (SSLN) held a virtual meeting focused on DSD for key populations (KP) with the goal of sharing current science and guidance; catalyzing the exchange of best practices; and supporting partner countries to improve the quality and coverage of HIV services for sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people and persons who inject drugs.
The four-day meeting was held on August 25-26,30-31, 2021.
