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 the South-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.
