MSMGF's policy brief on MSM and HIV

Global Forum on MSM & HIV Launches New Policy Brief, HIV Prevention with MSM: Balancing Evidence with Rights-based Principles of Practice

June 14, 2010

Dear Friends of the Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF),

The MSMGF is pleased to announce the launch of our newest policy brief, HIV Prevention with MSM: Balancing Evidence with Rights-based Principles of Practice. This document details the current context for the development and implementation of HIV prevention efforts targeting MSM, provides an overview of available MSM-specific HIV prevention strategies, and offers a look at recent guidelines from global health institutions. Recommendations emphasize the importance of respecting the role of MSM in efforts to determine research, policy, and program priorities, as well as other core principles of practice that are often overlooked in policy discussions.

The document is available for download HERE.

We encourage you to share this important policy brief with your networks! Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish translations are forthcoming.

Sincerely,


The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF)
