Senegal is a politically stable, predominantly Muslim country with one of the lowest rates of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa (0.7%). While the epidemic appears stable in the general population, HIV has disproportionately affected the very poor, those involved in sex work, men who have sex with men (MSM) and migrant workers.
This case study looks in detail at some of the challenges, innovations and achievements of the Alliance’s work with most at risk populations, particularly MSM, in Senegal since 1994.
