About FHI 360
FHI 360 is a nonprofit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), FHI 360 manages the “Linkages across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV (LINKAGES)” Project in more than 28 countries throughout the world, including Thailand. LINKAGES in Thailand focuses on interventions to reduce HIV transmission among key populations, predominantly among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgenders (TG). Most interventions are implemented through community-based organizations (CBOs) and include RRTTPR interventions such as peer-driven outreach, use of social media, HIV testing in community clinic settings, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provision, and increasingly, HIV treatment in community-based clinic settings. The costing study summarized here is partially supported by the LINKAGES Project.
