Purpose of assessment task 2
According to the World Health Organisation, “… the vulnerabilities of key populations result
in their being disproportionately affected by HIV in all countries and settings. These
disproportionate risks reflect…specific legal and social issues that increase their
vulnerability. Yet HIV services for key populations remain largely inadequate” (WHO, 2016,
pxv)
