In line with the last Communication on combating HIV/AIDS in the European Union and neighbouring countries (2009-2013) the overall objective of this project is to carry out and promote combined and targeted prevention complemented by a meaningful surveillance among MSM. In other words, the aim is to develop capacity building and know how through both training and on-site coaching under the active supervision and in collaboration with UNAIDS and WHO on: a) prevention needs assessment and prevention actions; b) innovative surveillance methodologies for hard to reach populations like MSM (time location sampling, respondent driven sampling, HIV and STI testing). The project, thanks to the participation of UNAIDS and WHO, will be implemented in both EU and neighbouring countries using the same methodologies (Protocols, UNGASS/ECDC indicators, epidemiological algorithms) and prevention strategies.
