- Summary:
- From the World Bank and researchers at the Center for Public Health and Human Rights at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, this volume presents analysis of the emerging epidemics of HIV among men who have sex with men in low and middle-income countries around the world, to help governments, public health agencies, donors, and communities better understand and respond to these populations, which have higher estimates of prevalence rates and fewer services and resources. It reviews HIV prevention and epidemiology literature and details an approach to evaluating interventions in prevention, care, and treatment, as well as modeling, costing, and human rights assessments, with specific studies of Kenya, Senegal, Malawi, Brazil, Peru, India, Thailand, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine, and modeling scenarios for the impact of HIV prevention services in Kenya, Peru, Thailand, and Ukraine.
