| Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people shoulder disproportionate levels of marginalization, poor health access and HIV-disease in nearly every nation where reliable data is available. Discrimination, harassment and insensitivity in health settings impair client or patient rapport, thereby blocking meaningful access to HIV-related services and driving individuals outside health systems altogether. Quality cultural competency and sensitization programmes are necessary; however, sparse at the local, country, and regional levels but, if implemented, may lead to improved HIV and other health outcomes. This interactive session will be facilitated by health experts engaged directly with sensitization and related training needs of providers and delivery systems. It will cover core principles and strategies for ethical and responsive healthcare as they relate to the planning and delivery of HIV-related care. Participants will be exposed to techniques, strategies and a range of resources that can help with the facilitation of sensitivity programming inclusive of MSM and transgender people. |
