1 MSMGF PRE-CONFERENCE PROGRAM & AIDS 2012 Roadmap for MSM and Transgender People FROM STIGMA TO STRENGTH Strategies for MSM, Transgender People and Allies in a Shifting AIDS Landscape July 21, 2012 Washington, D.C.

2 The MSMGF is a coalition of advocates working to ensure an effective response to HIV among MSM. Our coalition includes a wide range of people, including HIV-positive and HIV-negative gay men directly affected by the HIV epidemic, and other experts in health, human rights, research, and policy work. What we share is our willingness to step forward and act to address the lack of HIV responses targeted to MSM, end AIDS, and promote health and rights for all. We also share a particular concern for the health and rights of gay men/msm who: are living with HIV; are young; are from low and middle income countries; are poor; are migrant; belong to racial/ethnic minority or indigenous communities; engage in sex work; use drugs; and/or identify as transgender.

5 Welcome Stigma to STRENGTH: Strategies for MSM, Transgender People, and Allies in a Shifting AIDS Landscape Saturday, July 21, :00 am 17:00 FHI Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is our great honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2012 MSMGF Pre-Conference: From Stigma to STRENGTH: Strategies for MSM, Transgender People, and Allies in a Shifting AIDS Landscape! This year marks our fifth biennial gathering ahead of the International AIDS Conference, and we are delighted to bring together more than 600 advocates, policy makers, researchers, and program implementers dedicated to the health and human rights of men who have sex with men and transgender people. We assemble at a complex time in the HIV response rapidly evolving HIV prevention science, legislative turmoil on LGBT and HIV criminalization laws, and uncertainty about treatment access as the major global funders undergo transition periods or shy away from their commitments to AIDS. The MSMGF is proud to deliver a pre-conference program that not only addresses these complexities and questions head-on, but also reflects our ethos as a community-led organization; the program content was primarily driven by input from you, our members. We are thankful to the hundreds of you who told us what you wanted to see at this year s event through our global survey, and we are grateful to our Pre-Conference Planning Committee for translating your requests into the sessions and plenary speeches that will unfold before you today. Finally, we have deep gratitude for the opportunity to come together as a global community, to learn from one another, and to replenish our energy and enthusiasm as we take stock of the excellent work taking place around the world. We salute the courage of all advocates and remember the light of our fallen comrades, including the recent losses of Erick Martínez, renowned Honduran LGBT rights activist, and Brandy Martell, an American transgender woman and well-known peer advocate. We feel these losses profoundly, as we do the countless unnamed HIV and LGBT advocates and activists from around the world whose work is not recorded, but whose dedication to health and human rights form the backbone of our movement and inspire the next generation of leaders. We hope that today s program, and the insights and knowledge you bring back to your communities, will help continue our movement s global momentum forward From Stigma to STRENGTH! In solidarity, George Ayala, United States (Executive Director) Don Baxter, Australia (Co-Chair) Othoman Mellouk, Morocco (Co-Chair) From Stigma to Strength 1

6 Welcome Dear Friends, On behalf of the International AIDS Society (IAS), we would like to extend a very special welcome to From Stigma to Strength: Strategies for MSM, Transgender People and Allies in a Shifting AIDS Landscape the Fifth consecutive Pre-Conference to the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012). From Stigma to Strength is the largest known global gathering of activists, researchers, global donors and other key stakeholders focused on HIV and human right concerns of MSM and transgender people. Although there has been tremendous progress in the scale up of HIV treatment, and to a lesser extent HIV prevention, the goal of universal access remains elusive and coverage of prevention, treatment and care services for MSM and transgender people remains woefully insufficient. It is now clear that stigma, discrimination and human rights violations continue to be significant impediments to an effective HIV response. The IAS is impressed with the organizational momentum demonstrated by the MSMGF over the last several years. The MSMGF has been unwavering in its work to elevate global awareness about the disproportionate HIV disease burden that is shouldered by MSM and transgender people worldwide. We are especially grateful for the MSMGF s leadership in addressing the impact of homophobia and transphobia on an effective global response to HIV. The IAS stands in solidarity with the MSMGF and its other global partners in your efforts to remove all legal barriers undermining sound public health responses to the AIDS pandemic and to promote the acceptance and meaningful participation of all those affected by HIV. Best of luck for a successful Pre-Conference Event! We look forward to seeing you throughout the week. Sincerely, Elly Katabira, Uganda (AIDS 2012 Chair & IAS President) Diane Havlir, USA (US Co-Chair) 2 Welcome

Room Assignment: Balcony Room B Presentation: Living 2012 Participants 4. Mounting an Advocacy Response Against Human Rights Violations and Abuses Faced by Transgender Communities Worldwide This session will feature a panel of trans activists who will discuss various ways in which human rights abuses exacerbate HIV risk and negative health outcomes among transgender communities worldwide. Case study examples highlighting strategies for documenting and challenging these violations at the local, national, regional, and global levels will be discussed. The panelists will shed light on recent successes related to the removing of legal barriers among transgender people in Argentina, Australia, the United States, India, and Sweden.

Targeting YMSM: An International Look at Programs and Funding for Young MSM Young MSM (YMSM) are highly vulnerable to HIV, owing to a combination of factors that impact the health and human rights of young people and MSM respectively. Despite the clear and growing need for intervention, programs for general youth and general MSM often fail to account for the unique needs of YMSM. This session will examine the gaps in funding and programs for YMSM globally, followed by a look at existing programs that have attempted to address YMSM needs. Finally, the session will offer perspectives on linking YMSM programs with funding opportunities and thoughts on what donors should look for in project proposals.

15 strategies utilizing a community-led advocacy toolkit for the health and human rights of MSM. Major objectives include sharing the key steps involved with developing and implementing locally specific adaptations of Speaking Out; discussion of the major challenges, successes, and lessons learned from the Speaking Out process; and implications for future regional advocacy activities and initiatives. This session goal is to explore the commonalities, differences, and synergies that occurred while building advocacy capacity for MSM across the 3 regions. Participants will gain an enhanced understanding of the different experiences, knowledge, and approaches used to implement advocacy trainings for HIV and MSM activists in diverse regions. It is expected that this discussion will encourage South-South exchange, maximizing tools and resources to develop and implement local and international advocacy strategies.

Leveraging Networked and Digital Technologies for HIV Prevention, Education, and Care for Gay Men, Other MSM, and Transgender Communities During the last decade, networked and digital technologies have transformed the sexual and social behaviors and practices of many gay men, other MSM, and transgender people. Digital technologies have undoubtedly increased the possibilities for high-risk sexual behaviors, but they are equally powerful tools for sexual health and community mobilization, particularly for people living with HIV. This presentation will highlight examples of organizations working to improve access to health and human rights for marginalized gay men, other MSM, and transgender populations, which remains a key research and implementation design challenge for global and public health in light of the profound changes brought about by digital technologies on sexual practices.

16 Afternoon Break-Out Session Descriptions 13:30-15:00 (90 Minutes) 1. From Science to Practice: What Does Combination Prevention Mean for Community? Recent trial results have confirmed the efficacy of using antiretroviral drugs to prevent HIV, in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative people. This emerging arena of science has the potential to revolutionize HIV prevention. In this session community leaders, service providers, and public health officials will discuss the challenges of integrating new biomedical strategies into existing prevention methods. Will they be funded? Will people use them? Could they have negative consequences? Can they be owned by the MSM community in the same way safe sex was? Room Assignment: Academy Hall Moderators: A. Cornelius Baker, FHI 360 Gus Cairns, NAM Publications Speakers: Pedro Goicochea, J.

Global Learning, Local Solutions: MSM, HIV, and the Law in Sub-Saharan Africa Punitive laws criminalizing consensual same-sex conduct hinder access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care services as documented in submissions to the Global Commission on HIV and the Law. There are global lessons to be learned about the impact of these laws, the efforts to repeal them, and the creation of enabling environments for improved access to HIV services. In order to be effective and sustainable, these efforts should be led by and rooted in local contexts and lived experiences of key beneficiaries. Decriminalization efforts must be embedded within a broad, comprehensive structural and social reform agenda.

17 3. LIVING 2012 Continued, Part 2: Positive Health, Dignity, and Prevention for MSM and Transgender People Living With HIV This session builds on the LIVING 2012 morning session, and explores how the Global Advocacy Agenda can be used to achieve positive health, dignity, and prevention for MSM and Transgender People living with HIV. Participants will be updated on the Positive Health, Dignity, and Prevention Framework and operational guidelines, and how these tools can be used to promote the human rights, health, and general well being of MSM and Transgender People living with HIV. Room Assignment: Balcony Room B Presentation: Living 2012 Participants 4. Global Call to Action: Eliminating Barriers Related to Increased HIV Prevalence Among Trans Women and Trans Sex Workers Around the World This session will feature a panel of trans activists who will discuss the increasing HIV prevalence among transgender communities in the context of several barriers that continue to undermine robust public health responses. Issues related to data collection and epidemiological surveillance both within and outside of health systems will be discussed. Charting a way forward, this session will end with a global call to action for addressing structural barriers, lack of investments, human rights abuses, and exclusion of transgender communities across all levels within the HIV sector and beyond.

Stigma to Strength: An Inter-Generational Reflection on HIV Prevention and MSM Leadership MSM are disproportionately affected by HIV globally. While our response has seen many successes, in much of the world our communities remain in crisis particularly younger MSM (YMSM). While YMSM face some of the same challenges as older MSM, they also face a number of issues distinct to their age group. This panel explores these issues and other advances made in the health and human rights of MSM populations from a generational perspective. It features an intergenerational dialogue of MSM leaders from around the world, discussing the lessons learned and how to promote and sustain effective prevention strategies while building stronger communities.

25 AIDS 2012 ROADMAP for MSM & Transgender People The MSMGF presents to you this list of MSM and transgenderrelated sessions and activities at AIDS This guide is meant to offer a snapshot of related events, including oral sessions, global village activities, cultural events, and affiliated events. MSM NETWORKING ZONE: Connect, Communicate, Collaborate Within the conference, please visit the MSM Networking Zone at the Global Village between the hours of 08:30 and 20:30. The zone, called Connect, Communication, Collaborate! is a result of a partnership between the MSMGF and several regional networks of MSM, including AMSHeR, APCOM, ASICAL, COC, PSN, China MSM Forum, NBGMAC, and the South Asian DIVA Project, to produce the MSM networking zone devoted to the health and human rights of gay men and other MSM worldwide. The Networking Zone s primary objective is to offer a safe and creative space for gay/msm advocates to network, share experiences, exchange ideas, and coordinate advocacy strategies toward stronger, more inclusive HIV responses across our respective regions. Some planned activities include workshops and discussions focused on key issues affecting gay men/msm; art and video displays; photo booth and events to encourage linkages and coalition building.
