Risk Factors: HIV and forced displacement People forcibly displace are often at increased risk of HIV, though these crises or emergencies do not always translate into an increase in infections. Displacement exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and inequalities increasing the risk of HIV for some specific groups. Refugees and displaced people are not usually included in national HIV strategies. People living with, and affected by, HIV and AIDS are particularly vulnerable to the effects of instability and lack of access to treatment and prevention services

Regional Protection Environment In countries of origin Chronic violence and insecurity as main cause of displacement. Gender-based violence Violence against LGBT people are driving hundreds to flee their countries. During flight Sexual abuse, trafficking, exploitation and violence against key groups: LGBTI, women, girls, youth. Transactional sex compounded with increased unprotected sex.

Regional Protection Environment In country of asylum/ origin (Internal displaced and deportees) Health services are overwhelmed and this is affecting people who need care and treatment – especially those living with HIV. Limited founding from Humanitarian actors for health related issues. Refugees and migrants may avoid going to the hospital for fear of being discriminated due to their condition or being deported. That increases the risk of transmission in host countries.

HIV Sensitive Protection Responses In the Venezuela situation, interagency efforts on promoting access to antiretroviral treatment for refugees living with HIV, regardless of their migratory status. Across the region, UNHCR is providing technical support to national NGOs working in regional network (RSSN) to support people with HIV to safely contact clinics, hospitals, shelters and other organizations providing humanitarian assistance. In NCA, UNHCR and its partners have develop an identification and referral system for people with specific needs. In all Honduras and Mexico UNHCR has programs to prevent, respond and mitigate sexual violence and assistance to survivors, supporting SGBV mechanisms and services with communities, government and non-government actors. AGD sensitive Protection Monitoring with essential health care referral system is in place in Panama and Guatemala. Strategies to ensure protection and health access to LGBTI population have been strengthen in El Salvador.
