  1. APCOM submission to the Second Multistakeholder Consultation of the PCB Working Group on the Further Transition and Integration of UNAIDS into the UN System and Beyond
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    As the discussion on the transition of UNAIDS is underway, APCOM has been highlighting the needs for the region and have made recommendations to the PCB Working Group on the further transition and integration of UNAIDS into the UN system and beyond . Download “Strengthening UNAIDS is a public health and human rights imperative for key populations. A stronger UNAIDS means stronger access to HIV services, stronger investment in KP‑led initiatives, and stronger sustainability of KP networks that carry the weight of the epidemic in Asia and the Pacific.” Said Midnight , APCOM Executive Director, he continued, “A strengthened UNAIDS Joint Programme can expand access, financing, protection, and political visibility for key populations. The region’s ability to end AIDS depends on whether UNAIDS can continue to perform the functions that no other global body is mandated, equipped, or politically
  2. Commitments VS Reality: Asia-Pacific Key Population asks and the 2026 Political Declaration
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    APCOM makes available the analysis of the 2026 Political Declaration from the perspective of Asia‑Pacific, comparing global commitments with the ASKS of key populations and community‑led organisations in the region. Download The 2026 Political Declaration sets ambitious global commitments, including scaling up combination prevention to reach 90% of people in need of prevention, and ensuring 20 million people are protected annually by antiretroviral‑based HIV prevention (PrEP). It also recognises the central role of communities, committing to programmes led by people living with, at risk of or affected by HIV and to establishing predictable, long‑term and flexible financing of community‑led responses through social contracting and other mechanisms. For Asia‑Pacific key populations and community‑led networks, these commitments must shape a prevention response that is community-led, finance
  3. Establishing A Regional Prevention Fund for Key Populations in Asia and the Pacific
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    The Asia-Pacific Region continues to be one of the largest HIV burdens globally, with millions of people living with HIV and hundreds of thousands of new infections each year. While domestic financing has increased, many countries in the region still rely heavily on international donors to sustain their HIV prevention programmes. Recent shifts and disruptions in donor support are already placing national HIV responses at risk, resulting in interruptions in community-led outreach. The APCOM Regional Community Caucus , and community-led and key population organisations across Asia-Pacific put forward this five‑point priority framework to guide the establishment of a Prevention Fund that is fit for purpose, responsive to regional realities, and capable of driving long-term impact. This framework is grounded on the five priorities that the communities developed during the APCOM Community Sum
  4. AHF Thailand: From Targeted Online Testing to a Regional HIV Outreach Model
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    Contributor: AHF Thailand What if the next HIV testing site isn’t a clinic, a bar or a community center but a social media app? For decades, HIV outreach teams have gone where people gather: bars, saunas, public parks and other cruising areas. Community-based organizations (CBOs) played an important role in bringing HIV services directly to these spaces. But the way people connect has changed. Conversations, communities and opportunities to meet new people increasingly happen online. For HIV programs, this shift presents both a challenge and an opportunity: if cruising areas are moving online, can HIV outreach move there too? For AHF Thailand, the answer was to rethink how targeted outreach could work in the digital space. In 2022, the team began piloting Targeted Online Outreach Testing (TOOT) using social media to identify people who may be at risk, engage them privately and connect th

  6. The Human Cost of the US Policies on LGBTQI Communities in Asia-Pacific: Regional Finding from the 2025 Funding Freeze
    Sep 16, 2026 · original
    APCOM has been working with our community, and launched the advocacy brief The Human Cost of the US Funding Freeze on LGBTQI Communities in Asia-Pacific . Download The 2025 US government funding freeze, and the dismantling of USAID has triggered a far-reaching crisis for LGBTQI communities across the Asia-Pacific region. What began as an administrative and political decision with the US government Foreign Aid Freeze Executive Order on January 20, 2025, and the USAID Stop Work Orders issued on January 27, 2025, has rapidly evolved into a humanitarian, public health, and human rights emergency. As a result, LGBTQI organisations throughout Asia and the Pacific—many of which operate as the sole providers of affirming health care, legal aid, shelter, psychosocial support, and HIV services—have been forced to suspend or terminate services with little or no notice. This brief synthesizes eviden
  7. APCOMpassion fundraising activities
    Sep 16, 2026 · original
    APCOM launched a new round of fundraising under its APCOMpassion Emergency Fund in response to the urgent crisis facing LGBTQI+ communities across Asia and the Pacific following the US Administration’s decision to freeze foreign aid. We leaned into our community to help kickstart this effort. Leading LGBTQI+ party organisers in the region, known for creating safe and vibrant spaces for the community, are partnering with APCOM to raise emergency funds for those hit hardest by the funding freeze, and ongoing funding cuts. Many LGBTQI+ organisations and community clinics that rely on international support have been forced to cut services or close entirely, leaving people without access to life-saving medication, HIV treatment, prevention, mental health care, and other essential support. “Community spaces are safe spaces where we can truly be ourselves, and our community is sadly under threa

    “It’s the value of data collection and storytelling. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the data and stories we gathered created huge empathy and visibility. That’s why we are here, you don’t need to be a scientist to collect stories that matter. It’s also a way of archiving a moment in time…This gives us a community-generated record we can look back on and learn from…If we use this information ourselves, especially to strengthen ties with our communities, that is our biggest advantage.” Midnight , Executive Director, APCOM, Thailand The abrupt suspension of USAID funding in early 2025 has had devastating effects on LGBTI+ civil society organisations globally. While the broader impacts across global society are still being determined, among the 43 organisations surveyed by Kaleidoscope Trust (KT) in the immediate aftermath, 29 experienced direct impacts, resulting in approximately USD $8.67 m

    Sep 11, 2026 · original
    PrEPARING ASIA 2025 report sets out priorities for equitable access to HIV prevention across Asia and the Pacific. Download APCOM Community Summit: PrEPARING ASIA 2025 — Making Prevention Choice a Reality , calling on governments, donors and development partners to expand prevention options, invest in community-led services and secure sustainable financing across Asia and the Pacific. The report brings together insights and recommendations from more than 80 community leaders, government representatives, researchers, development partners and healthcare practitioners who gathered in Bangkok in November 2025. UNAIDS data reinforce the urgency of this work. In 2024, around 200,000 people in Asia and the Pacific used oral PrEP at least once, less than 10% of the region’s 2025 target of 8.2 million people. Access to broader prevention services also remains uneven: approximately half of sex wor
