Between Men: HIV/STI Prevention for Men Who Have Sex With Men

This report by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance gives an overview of basic issues for men who have sex with men (MSM) in the context of HIV and other STIs and provides ideas for developing prevention programmes with and for MSM.

"Between Men" is structured into four main sections. The first section is intended to be a basic text about men who have sex with men. It includes why men have sex with men, how men have sex with men, social and personal issues. The second section looks at sexual health, HIV prevention, how to assess vulnerability and risk and what to consider when designing HIV/STI prevention programmes for and with men who have sex with men. Section three outlines strategies and activities to enable men who have sex with men to develop HIV/STI prevention and care programmes most appropriate to their specific needs. The final section lists useful resources for further contacts and information.

This report is intended for people or organisations who provide support to NGOs and CBOs starting HIV/STI prevention work with and for MSM. It aims primarily to support those planning to work in communities in developing countries where few or no organisations work with MSM.
