Why this matters
The report's emphasis on scalable and sustainable primary HIV prevention models for key populations in countries like Kenya highlights the critical role of domestic financing and community-led services in reducing new HIV infections. With about half of all new HIV infections worldwide occurring among key populations, the need for effective and targeted prevention programs is pressing. The fact that many countries, including Kenya, rely heavily on external donors to fund HIV prevention programs for key populations underscores the vulnerability of these efforts to fluctuations in donor support. In contrast, models that leverage domestic resources, such as those found in Moldova, may offer a more sustainable path forward. As the global community works to meet the 2025 target of delivering 80% of HIV prevention services for high-risk populations through community-led organizations, the experiences of countries like Kenya and Moldova will be closely watched for lessons on how to enhance HIV prevention and reduce stigma and discrimination against key populations.
