Human rights violations among men who have sex with men and transgender people in South Africa

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of documenting HRVs among MSM and TG people within HIV prevention programmes. Men who have sex with men and TG people should be systematically screened for HRVs and linked to legal or other services.Contribution: Our findings present data on the nature of HRVs in 10 districts outside of the large urban centres where research documenting the lived experiences of MSM, TG people and other key populations is traditionally conducted in South Africa. Such data contribute to addressing the gap in the literature o n the needs of MSM and TG people in South Africa caused by the delayed inclusion of rural MSM and TG people in research.
