In this new consolidated guidelines document on HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for key populations, the World Health Organization brings together all existing guidance relevant to five key populations – men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons and other closed settings, sex workers and transgender people – and updates selected guidance and recommendations.
These guidelines aim to:
- provide a comprehensive package of evidence-based HIV-related recommendations for all key populations;
- increase awareness of the needs of and issues important to key populations;
- improve access, coverage and uptake of effective and acceptable services;
- and catalyze greater national and global commitment to adequate funding and services.
