Gender inequity is a fundamental driver in the HIV epidemic, and integrating strategies to address gender inequity and change harmful gender norms is an increasingly important component of HIV programs. Integrating gender strategies into programs targeting most-at-risk populations (MARPs) which include men who have sex with men, transgender people, injecting drug users, and male, female and transgender sex workers, whether in mixed or concentrated epidemic countries is much less prevalent. …

This paper discusses the Cuban approach to HIV, which like the nation's public health system, is founded on the principal that health is a human right. In practice, this translates into a continuum of care through universal access to primary, secondary, and tertiary health services, government commitment to equalizing and improving social determinants, and scientific research and development aimed at advancing population health. Constitutional rights, including job and housing guarantees and anti-discrimination laws, also play a role. …

Sexual and reproductive health and rights and HIV programmes are likely to have greater impact on communities if they address constructively the actual and potential role of men in society. At present, however, many such programmes often fail to target men, to address their specific needs and understand the wider influence of male and female gender norms. This Men-streaming toolkit helps organizations create, and advocate for, affirmative policies which promote the positive roles that men can play in improving their own sexual and reproductive health - and those of women and children. …

Este caderno apresenta e discute aspectos que permeiam as práticas sexuais e de saúde reprodutiva dos jovens rapazes. Tais práticas são determinadas por um complexo conjunto de fatores, destacando-se particularmente a interação cultural - construída em cenários em que as relações de gênero definem hierarquias - e as formas políticoeconômicas de organização das sociedades. Podemos afirmar, portanto, que mulheres e homens não se comportam de uma maneira ou de outra em função de sua própria natureza, mas são produtos de uma construção social. …
