Prevention and treatment of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections among men who have sex with men and transgender people: recommendations for a public health approach

Despite the strong impact of the HIV epidemic on men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people, to date, no technical recommendations have been made to guide health systems’ response to the epidemic among them. This guideline provides recommendations for regional and country partners on appropriate interventions designed to address needs of MSM and transgender people. It also provides an opportunity to highlight and emphasise the correlation between prevention and treatment in the response to the HIV epidemic among MSM and transgender people, particularly in light of increasing evidence about the preventive benefit of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
