MSM Initiative

The world’s inability to prevent widespread HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) is one of the greatest public health failures in the fight against AIDS. In an effort to reduce rates of HIV infection and transmission among MSM in resource-limited countries, amfAR established the MSM Initiative in 2007.
