A cascade of continuous HIV care for men who have sex with men (MSM) is a tool for situation assessment, planning, advocacy, and monitoring activities, which reflects the correlation between people who need services and their access to them.
The goal of the cascade is to identify the main gaps in data on MSM in Armenia based on official statistics, and to develop recommendations to improve service provision, including community-based services, in order to achieve the “95–95–95” target goals. The “95–95–95” targets were established by UNAIDS, and call for 95% of all people living with HIV to know their HIV status, 95% of all people with diagnosed HIV infection to receive sustained antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, and for 95% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy to have viral suppression by 2025.
The cascade is being conducted at the national level, and includes HIV prevention services provided to MSM in Armenia.
