Abstract
Give the community the tools and they will help finish the job: key population-led health services for ending AIDS in Thailand.
Highlights
The Key Population-led Health Services (KPLHS) model was established in Thailand in 2015 to demonstrate how task shifting can be realized through delivering HIV and health services that would normally be delivered by medical professionals in health facilities, by lay providers who are members of the key population communities
The KPLHS approach was proposed by grass root men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender women (TGW) and sex workers (SW) communities
A service package designed for TGW integrates gender affirming care with sexual health service to address common health concerns prioritized by TGW [5], while for SW, legal assistance and outof-school education are co-located in sexual health clinics to provide both social and clinical services highly needed among this community
Summary
The Key Population-led Health Services (KPLHS) model was established in Thailand in 2015 to demonstrate how task shifting can be realized through delivering HIV and health services that would normally be delivered by medical professionals in health facilities, by lay providers who are members of the key population communities. KPLHS supports Thailand’s National AIDS Strategies to enhance uptake of HIV services along the Reach-Recruit-TestTreat-Retain cascade.
