(Hivos) has received confirmation from the Global Fund that it was granted a
cost-extension covering the period Oct, 2016 to Dec, 2017. This will enable the

Vulnerability to and Impact of HIV infection on MSM and TG in Insular Southeast
Asia’, to continue its work until the next round of funding from the GF. The
ISEAN-Hivos Program is a multi-country non-CCM grant supported by the Global
Fund. This grant has the main goal of reducing (a) the vulnerability and risks
of MSM and TG to HIV infection and (b) the impact of HIV on their lives in
