Technical Brief HIV, Human Rights, and Gender Equality

Years of experience and greater understanding of HIV prevention and treatment now enable the world to end the HIV epidemic as a public health problem. But the evidence shows that reaching this goal is possible only if there is much greater focus on addressing the vulnerabilities that lead to HIV infection, including targeting the populations at highest risk of infection or living with and most affected by HIV.

The purpose of the Technical Brief “HIV, Human Rights, and Gender Equality” is to assist Global Fund applicants in their efforts to include and expand concrete and effective programs to remove human rights-related barriers to HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment services. This brief discusses the barriers to access and uptake of HIV services that these programs help to remove, the investment approach to these programs, the various forms the programs take, the need to cost and allocate budget for them, and how to implement them in effective ways and at appropriate scale. It also aims to help stakeholders ensure that, as they are rolled out, HIV health services and programs promote and protect human rights and gender equality more broadly.
