The Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on HIV in Emergencies developed a series of guidance notes to provide HIV related programmatic advice to several of the clusters as they implement their critical coordination and support role in countries. The notes provide key HIV-related actions to be undertaken during various phases of an emergency with particular emphasis in the immediate aftermath. The Guidance further clarifies the needs of the most vulnerable groups and the importance of ensuring their safety and protection in emergency settings.

Guidance developed by the Inter-agency Task Team on HIV in Emergencies that provides considerations for Preparedness and Response in relation to COVID-19 and HIV in humanitarian situations as well as a list of HIV-E guidance relevant in the COVID-19 context.

This guide is intended for use by qualified health-care providers (medical doctors, clinical officers, midwives and nurses) who are working in humanitarian emergencies or other similar settings, and who wish to develop specific protocols for the medical care of survivors of sexual violence and Intimate Partner Violence. It contains a specific annex on Protocols for post-exposure prophylaxis of HIV infection.

Malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) present unique risks to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) around the world. High levels of mobility, poor living conditions and exposure to violence can all contribute to increased risk of exposure and decreased access to health services. As one of the largest financiers of global health programs, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria is a vital source of support to ensure refugees and IDPs have access to quality disease prevention, treatment and care services. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Foundation performed a review of how refugees and IDPs were included in Global Fund applications between 2002-2019. Global results and downloadable scorecards for each eligible country can be found below.
