A new and critical tool for implementing comprehensive sexual health services with men who have sex with men has been developed by UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund and MSMGF (The Global Forum on MSM & HIV), together with UNDP, WHO, USAID, PEPFAR, and BMGF with contributions from over 100 experts from around the world.
The publication, Implementing Comprehensive HIV and STI Programs with Men Who Have Sex With Men: Practical Guidance for Collaborative Interventions (MSMIT), targets public-health officials and program managers, as well as NGOs and health-workers implementing HIV and STI programs with MSM.
The tool’s chapters are further organized across six areas of focus: community empowerment, violence against men who have sex with men, condom and lubricant programming, health-care services, information and communication technology, and program management.
The MSMIT is a significant milestone in in our work against HIV. The availability of new guidance for countries to design, plan and operationalize their own sexual health services for MSM will help accelerate overall progress. However, our work is not over. MSMGF encourages advocates around the world to monitor the rollout of the WHO Guidelines and the MSMIT and ensure their meaningful uptake.
