MSMIT — Men Who Have Sex With Men Implementation Toolkit

Honors MSM expertise in the HIV response, supporting the legacy forged by men organizing at the community level. Available in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian.

Men who have sex with men were organizing an HIV response for their own communities long before institutions arrived to fund one. MSMIT is built on that expertise rather than around it.

It is a practical implementation guide — how to design, staff, and run community-led services, and how to keep community leadership at the center while doing it. Available in five languages, so it travels across the regions it was written for.

What you can do with it

  • Design community-led HIV services with MSM communities rather than for them
  • Ground a program proposal in globally recognized implementation guidance
  • Work from the same guide as partners across five language regions
