...interventions for men who have sex with men and transgenders are not only a community agenda. Their success is in everyone’s interest and everyone is responsible for ensuring that they succeed.

Developed Asia
The socio-economic dynamics in this group of countries and areas are different from the rest of the region. The needs of MSM, particularly related to types of interventions, service coverage and resource allocation, are very similar within these countries and areas. Although limited data that is available, for the most part HIV prevalence remains low in the general population; however, the number of HIV infections in men who have sex with men (MSM) has risen sharply in many urban locations throughout these countries and areas as recently reported in Japan, Tokyo and Singapore.
The region includes:
- Australia
- Japan
- Hong Kong
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- South Korea
- Taiwan
