Role of Civil Society in differentiated care George Ayala, PsyD Executive Director
definition • Key populations: • Shoulder disproportionate HIV disease burden when compared with the general populations; • Are criminalized or experience persistent and particularly heinous stigma, discrimination, and violence; • Experience inequitable access to services (intentionally and unintentionally). • Gay, bisexual men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender women, people who inject drugs – in all parts of the world.
Differentiated care for Key Populations • Differentiated care models applied to key populations require: • Smart investment, not divestment. • Thorough assessment, screening and diagnostics; • Safe spaces; • Interventions and services that are principled – acceptable, accessible, evidence-informed, and rights-based; • Participatory approaches that center community.
