Organizational Mapping Project of HIV/AIDS Groups for MSM and Transgenders in Developed Asia. The Asia Pacific Coalition on Male Sexual Health (2010)
 |
HIV prevalence among MSM/TGs in countries (Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan)in Developed Asia is generally higher than the national figures. While public resources exist for combating HIV/AIDS, in the case of MSM/TGs in these countries, the lack of political leadership and social taboos against sexual minorities have curtailed preventive measures. |
Organizational Mapping Project of HIV/AIDS Groups for MSM and Transgenders in Insular Southeast Asia. The Asia Pacific Coalition on Male Sexual Health (2010)
 |
Asia has all the ingredients for a full-blown epidemic among men who have sex with men and transgenders. Evidence points to an increasing prevalence among MSM/TGs in many Asian countries. In many countries, evidence points to a sexual flip in the mode of transmission, with MSM/TGs becoming the face of the epidemic than heterosexuals. Response to the infection has been limited, as most countries, if not all, are constrained by poverty, repressive political conditions, impaired healthcare infrastructures, and obscurantist religions. Available services are therefore a result of external interventions. |

Indonesia is facing a progressing HIV epidemic. Despite 20 years of increasingly concerted effort, largely downstream, to prevent the spread of the epidemic, new cases of HIV infection continue to rise. Estimation shows that by the end of 2009 there were 333,200 people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Indonesia. Download this publication |
Mapping Transgender Groups, Organisations and Networks in South Asia. The Asia Pacific Coalition on Male Sexual Health (2008)
 |
According to the policy brief titled “The Value of Investing in MSM Programs in the Asia-Pacific Region”, for APCOM/USAID Health Policy Initiative (APCOM Policy Brief No. 1, March 2008), there is strong evidence establishing male-tomale sex as one of the driving forces of HIV transmission in the region. HIV prevalence among MSM and transgender populations ranges from 3% to 31% in Asia-Pacific countries (5 to 15 times higher than overall HIV prevalence). In India, for instance, the latest estimates by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), India, show that prevalence among MSM and transgender populations was 5.7% in 2006 as against the overall adult prevalence of 0.36%. |
2005 Consensus Report on HIV Estimate in the Philippines. Department of Health Philippines, WHO and UNAIDS (2005)
 |
Every two to three years, the Department of Health (DOH) initiates a consensus-building process during which the number of prevalent HIV infections in the Philippines is estimated. Generating reasonable estimates of the number of HIV infections in the country is important, not only for monitoring trends in the prevalence of infection, but also for more rational planning of effective responses against the problem. The data will also facilitate a more systematic assessment of the effectiveness of current prevention and control as well as care and support initiatives of the public and private sectors.
