Men who have sex with men (MSM) face a disproportionate share of the HIV epidemic throughout the world. In low- and middle-income countries this group bears a greater burden of the epidemic relative to the general population. AIDSTAR-One has recently released a technical brief that provides a systematic global review and synthesis of practical approaches, program examples, and resources to support human rights as a core element of HIV programming for MSM. This document gives an overview of U.S. policies on and commitments to MSM and human rights, and outlines recommended approaches, including program examples in various countries, for linking health and human rights to address HIV among MSM. It also offers a synthesis of questions for developing and monitoring HIV programs for MSM, and a list of program resources.
