People living with HIV (PLHIV) provide invaluable contributions to community organising, programme development, implementation and evaluation, including in the area of HIV prevention.

As stated in the APCOM Guiding Principles: “There must be greater involvement of MSM including HIV positive MSM and HIV positive transgender people, in programme planning and policy development arenas. … We believe that HIV and AIDS programme and policy responses are strengthened by ensuring inclusion, parity and representation.”

APCOM has designated a governing board position for a person living with HIV as a representative for all PLHIV in the Asia Pacific region, particularly for the unique needs of MSM. This position is chosen by the MSM Working Group of the Asia Pacific Network of People Living with HIV and AIDS (APN +). The MSM Working Group was formed in 2007 in recognition of the importance of involving MSM PLHIV in leadership and advocacy around HIV issues.

PLHIV includes organisations that are working on the issues of HIV infections among MSM.
