Abstract

In this month's Editorial Chris Beyrer and colleagues reflect on an underappreciated trend in multiple African, Asian, and Caribbean settings, where the provision of HIV and other essential health services for sexual and gender minorities are expanding despite challenging legal and social environments. The authors argue that while the legal, human rights, and LGBT advocacy communities work to advance structural reforms, such as overturning sodomy statutes, community-based clinical and service providers have vital roles to play in the realization of more immediate rights and benefits—including the right to dignity, safety, and equitable access to services in health care settings.
