Key populations (KP) — including men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people, and people who inject drugs — are disproportionately affected by HIV. Reaching members of these communities with interventions that improve their access to and uptake of services across the HIV prevention, care, and treatment cascade is essential to achieving epidemic control. In partnership with the Journal of the International AIDS Society, we sought to expand the evidence base related to optimizing service delivery for KP through a journal supplement dedicated to the topic. This session will launch the supplement, bringing visibility to the latest evidence of what works to reach KP and link them to the prevention, treatment, and retention support they need. Panelists will share new data published in the supplement on innovations, outreach strategies, and delivery modalities for overcoming structural obstacles and improving service uptake with different KP groups across different geographies.
