This report summarizes definitions and descriptions of men who have sex with men and transgender people, offers priority recommendations for the health sector, summarizes the epidemiology of HIV and other STIs, highlights key conclusions and issues, analyzes the legal frameworks and a review of the situation of human rights in relation to sexual minorities, provides programmatic responses and models of service delivery, and has examples from a number of countries detailing how the health sector addresses the specific issues faced by MSM and transgender people.
