Abstract
Key populations (KPs), including female sex workers (FSWs), men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender (trans) people, prisoners, and people who use drugs, have specific risk behaviours and other vulnerabilities that place them at increased risk of HIV1. In addition, they play an important role in the dynamics of HIV prevention and transmission both within and outside of KP communities, as KPs and the general population are frequently interconnected through their sexual networks.
