Global HIV prevention, treatment, and care interventions and strategies for key populations: Protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Since its emergence, HIV/AIDS has remained one of the most significant global health challenges, with key populations-such as sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people, people who inject drugs (PWID), and individuals in prisons or other closed settings-disproportionately bearing the burden of the epidemic. These groups, often at heightened risk due to social, legal, and structural vulnerabilities, face persistent barriers to accessing prevention, treatment, and care services. Despite progress in reducing new infections and improving treatment outcomes, these disparities, exacerbated by stigma, structural inequalities, and insufficient political commitment, continue to limit the effectiveness of global HIV responses.
