Unfinished Business - HIV among gay, bisexual men and other men who have sex with men
Global Forum on MSM & HIV - "Gay, bisexual men and other men who have sex with men are among the only groups for which HIV is uncontrolled or worsening in most parts of the world. There is a disparate HIV disease burden shouldered by gay, bisexual men and other MSM that is inadequately addressed globally. Exclusion of men who have sex with men from national AIDS planning processes has contributed to inadequately funded, inaccessible, and poorly targeted programs.
Criminalization of homosexuality encourages human rights abuses, violence, discrimination, and stigma, which worsen health disparities for men who have sex with men and their communities. If this continues, quite frankly, progress made in the global HIV response will begin to unravel”, asserts Dr. George Ayala, Executive Director of MSMGF.
