In order to ensure responsive programming, researchers, policymakers, and program planners are working to collect and use data to better understand the HIV epidemic among MSM. However, data use and sharing can be challenging in countries in which the rights of MSM and transgender people are threatened by punitive laws. Using case studies and an interactive design, the first session will draw upon participant feedback to identify where guidance is needed to ensure human rights protection, particularly in rights-constrained environments. Feedback collected from this first session will inform the design of an upcoming technical consultation with an aim to develop programmatic guidance that builds upon the 2011 document, Respect, Protect, Fulfill: Best Practices Guidance in Conducting HIV Research with Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Rights-Constrained Environments.

Mapping and size estimation exercises are conducted with the intention of increasing HIV program coverage and accessibility. These approaches are not always appropriate in countries that criminalize key populations. The second consultation within this stream will allow for a more in-depth discussion on programmatic mapping and size estimation.  Group discussion will include brainstorming alternative methodologies that allow for continued advocacy for comprehensive services for marginalized groups while also ensuring their safety.

This session showcases innovative programs that utilize internet and communication technology (ICT) for HIV prevention. Panelists will describe the process in the context of design and implementation as well as measuring and monitoring success. Presenters will demonstrate how they designed and implemented their programs, with varying levels of technological availability and access, to different audiences and in vastly different rights environments across Asia and the Pacific, West and South Africa, and Latin America. #MSMTransTech is being used to document MSM and trans-related use of technology throughout the duration of the International AIDS Conference. Live tweeting, posting, linking, and documenting are encouraged!

The session will launch the first collection documenting MSM and transgender use of technology in HIV prevention, research, advocacy, and education. Published by Digital Culture, & Education and authored by community leaders, the special issue takes a step forward in highlighting innovative methods of community-based organizations in their own voices. The panelists include co-editors and authors of the special issue who will discuss the special issue vision, development, as well as the mentorship component. The authors will discuss and present their ICT HIV interventions and talk about their own experiences with participating in the special issue. #MSMTransTech is being used to document MSM and trans-related use of technology throughout the duration of the International AIDS Conference.

In 2007 WHO and UNAIDS recommended that countries with high HIV prevalence and low male circumcision rates add voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) to their HIV prevention programming. Mathematical modeling published in 2011 indicated that rapid scale-up of VMMC to 80% of men aged 15-49 would require 20.3 million circumcisions and avert an estimated 3.4 million new HIV infections. At this time countries in the East and Southern Africa (ESA) region set ambitious scale-up goals and President Obama set a goal of 4.7m PEPFAR-funded circumcisions by December 2013. Some six million men have been circumcised to date, with funding from ESA governments, PEPFAR and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This session will present tools developed and detail lessons learned during the accelerated scale-up of VMMC. Panelists will include representatives of Jhpiego, the MCHIP Program, WHO, PEPFAR, the Ministries of Health of Tanzania and Lesotho, CHAPS and PSI.

This talk show style session will highlight examples of community-based HIV programming for men who have sex with men and transgender communities using internet and communication technology. Representatives from The Global Fund, UNAIDS and PEPFAR will discuss how their agencies support technology for these populations globally, look at the future of funding and programming in this area, and assess the potential for new regional and country-level initiatives. #MSMTransTech is the hashtag for the event and participants in this session will be encouraged to post photos, record videos and live tweet their responses to the topic. Relevant tweets and key HIV resources associated with this session will also be shared on a dedicated Facebook page.

The objective of this 90 minute satellite is to engage civil society organization (CSO) leadership and global donors and agencies in a dialogue on CSO survival, engagement, and strengthening in sustainable transitions for country ownership. The session will open with a brief overview on country ownership by a representative from UNAIDS followed by a panel of civil society representatives describing challenges and successes with their own experiences in country transitions. Key issues the panelists will consider include how transitions affect scale-up of HIV services for key populations and civil society engagement and the status of the country “hand-off” plans. Respondents from major donor institutions who are charged with and have charged country transitions (e.g., PEPFAR and The Global Fund) will comment on the panel presentations. Following the presentations and discussion, there will be a moderated dialogue with the audience for input and questions.
