Advancing the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Human Rights of People Living 
with HIV
MSM Guide to the Guidance Package

Advancing the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Human Rights of People Living 
with HIV: A Guidance Package is a detailed and comprehensive report that 
describes the key areas of policy and practice change needed to advance the 
sexual and reproductive health and human rights of people living with HIV.

In order to examine issues that affect specific populations Guides to the 
Guidance Package have been created. Five key populations affected by HIV have 
been selected: men who have sex with men (MSM); sex workers; injecting drug 
users; prisoners and migrant populations. This Guide focuses on MSM populations 
living with HIV and aims to provide advice and support to those advocating for 
the sexual and reproductive health rights (SRH) of MSM at a national and 
international level. The Guide begins with a review of important rights-based 
principles, continues with an examination of issues linked to the sexual and 
reproductive health of MSM, and concludes with a set of recommendations adapted 
from the original recommendations proposed in the Guidance Package, offered 
here with the specific needs and priorities of MSM living with HIV as 
foreground.

How to get involved

Currently we are seeking young men who have sex with men who would like to be a 
part of this initiative, to submit their photos and short bios which will be 
included in the guide.

Please send your photos and bios to: Jack Beck,
