Case scenario 3 HIV
Case Scenario 3 HIV/AIDS a global perspective (WHO, 2016)
Without addressing the needs of key populations, a sustainable response to HIV will not be achieved. The risk behaviours and vulnerabilities of specific populations and their networks determine the dynamics of HIV epidemics. Five key population groups are, in almost all settings and countries, disproportionately affected by HIV:
Men who have sex with men
People in prisons and other closed settings
People who inject drugs
Sex workers
Transgender people
These disproportionate risks reflect both behaviour common among members of these populations and specific legal and social barriers that further increase their vulnerability. In most countries, inadequate coverage and poor quality of services for key populations continue to undermine responses to HIV. All countries should consider the importance of reaching these key populations, understanding their needs and providing equitable, accessible and acceptable services. To do so, it is essential to work with key population groups and networks as partners in developing and providing services. An effective response requires more than providing services for key populations, it also requires systemic and environmental changes. Social, legal, structural and other contextual factors increase vulnerability to HIV and obstruct access to HIV services. These factors include punitive legislation and policing practices, stigma, discrimination, poverty, violence, and high levels of homelessness in some groups.
Epidemics of HIV in men who have sex with men continue to expand in most countries. By region, estimates of HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men range from 3% in the Middle East and North Africa to 25% in the Caribbean. In Kenya, the only African country with HIV incidence data, an annual incidence of greater than 20% was recently reported in Mombasa. Discriminatory legislation, stigma (including by health workers) and homophobic violence in many countries pose major barriers to providing HIV services for men who have sex with men and limit their use of what services do exist. WHO (2016) provided 19 recommendations concerning key populations affected by HIV, some of these are:
The correct and consistent use of condoms with condom compatible lubricants
Availability of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PREP) containing tenofovir
disoproxil fumarate (antiretroviral therapy) should be offered as an additional prevention choice for key populations as part of or in combination with HIV prevention approaches
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) (antiretroviral therapy) should be available to all eligible people from key populations on a voluntary basis after possible exposure to HIV
People who inject drugs should have access to sterile injecting equipment through needle and syringe programs
Voluntary HIV testing and counselling should be routinely offered to all key populations both in the community and in clinical settings. This should be linked to prevention, care and treatment services
Key populations should have the same access to antiretroviral (ART) and to ART management as other populations. (WHO, 2016)
