For HIV prevention efforts to be effective, access to information and services must be available to everyone, particularly those at highest risk. However, conventional health programs often fail to reach the most vulnerable populations. Female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injecting drug users are disproportionately affected by HIV, yet are hidden from the mainstream because their behaviors are stigmatized, and even criminalized, deterring them from seeking services. Moreover, health care providers often are ill-equipped to address the specific and often sensitive needs of these groups.
Population Council focus
The Council is committed to reducing HIV infection and transmission among the most-at-risk populations and linking them to the full range of HIV services. Council researchers use innovative designs and analytic approaches to identify, engage, and describe the risk behaviors of these often hard-to-reach populations. They use this information to develop and assess the effectiveness of a variety of HIV service delivery approaches and to encourage governments to dedicate attention and resources to addressing HIV among these populations.
