Effectiveness and Efficiency of Improving HIV Service Provision for Key Populations in Nicaragua

摘要

ObjectiveHIV in Nicaragua is concentrated among key populations (KPs) – men who have sex with men, female sex workers, and female transgender – in whom prevalence is 600–4,000 times higher than the general population. The United States Agency for International Development PrevenSida project is aimed at increasing healthy behavior among KPs and people with HIV and improving testing, counseling, and continuity of prevention and treatment by building capacity and improving performance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) providing services to KPs. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of PrevenSida’s activities.
