In late July, Heartland Alliance International participated in the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam. Our teams from Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire presented seven posters, and had one poster discussion on a variety of issues surrounding the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among key populations. Poster topics included the higher prevalence and greater risk of STIs/HIV among men who have sex with men in Côte d’Ivoire, and the way in which stigma against transgender people acts as a barrier to accessing HIV services in Nigeria. Four HAI staff from the U.S., Nigeria, and Cote d’Ivoire led a workshop alongside FHI 360, The Law Enforcement and HIV Network, The International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. The workshop was entitled: Doing No Harm: Practical Approaches for Safely Delivering HIV Services with and for Key Populations.
