Understanding SRHR and HIV linkages |
Advocating for SRHR and HIV linkages |
Evidence |
Interactive Timeline |
The intrinsic connections between SRHR and HIV are well established. Linking HIV and SRHR responses is critical for reaching human rights, gender equality, and health targets for the Sustainable Development Goals.
Tools and Guidance |
Case studies |
There is no one blueprint to integrate services as context is different. However, there are a number of practical guidance documents and tools including checklists which can be used when designing and implementing integrated SRHR and HIV services.
National progress on SRHR and HIV linkages |
SRHR and HIV linkages measurement tools |
Facility based measurement tools |
Indicators |
A number of tools have been developed to support measurement of SRHR and HIV linkages at the enabling environment, health systems and integrated service delivery levels. The results from these tools demonstrate national progress on SRHR and HIV linkages.
People living with HIV |
Defining key populations |
Men who have sex with men |
Sex workers |
People who inject drugs |
Transgender people |
Prisoners / vulnerable populations |
Adolescents and young people |
Various populations are important to the dynamics of the HIV epidemic and are essential partners in an effective response, especially people living with HIV and key populations. Key populations are disproportionately affected by HIV and include: men who have sex with men; transgender people; people who inject drugs; sex workers; and prisoners. People living with HIV are considered a key population in all epidemic contexts.
Vulnerable populations are groups of people who are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection in certain situations or contexts, such as adolescents (particularly adolescent girls), people in closed settings (such as prisons or detention centres), people with disabilities and migrant and mobile workers.
Protecting & promoting human rights |
Human rights of people living with HIV |
Human rights of key populations |
Gender equality (including SGBV) |
Human rights represent a foundation for effective SRHR and HIV linkages laws, policies and programmes. Sexual and reproductive rights of people living with HIV and key and vulnerable populations need to be upheld. Gender-transformative policies to establish gender equality and eliminate sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) are additional requirements.
TB and HIV |
Viral hepatitis and HIV |
Non-communicable diseases |
Maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health |
An integrated approach to service delivery supports universal access to a broad range of health services. There are several health-related areas in which service integration is being utilised.
Mobilise resources for SRHR and HIV linkages |
Work in partnerships |
Mobilising resources and working in partnerships – particularly through community engagement – are both key elements in the SRHR and HIV linkages response. Whether working on advocacy, research or implementation – all require both financial resources and strong partnerships.
