Background
LINKAGES is USAID’s first global

sex with men, waria, people who inject drugs, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
This program aims to accelerate the ability of partner government, key population
civil society organizations and the private sector to more effectively plan,
deliver and optimize comprehensive, scaled HIV/AIDS prevention, care and
treatment services that reduce HIV transmission among key populations and their
sexual partners and improve the quality of life for those who are HIV positive.
LINKAGES Indonesia supports HIV
programming for key populations in Papua and DKI Jakarta (Jakarta Utara,
Jakarta Timur, Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta Barat and Jakarta Utara). Among LINKAGES’ clinical partners are three
clinics that provide HIV clinical services to key populations: Angsamerah
Clinic, Ruang Carlo Clinic and Klinik Keluarga Tanjung Priuk (YKB).
LINKAGES is currently soliciting
applications for an additional clinic that can expand quality HIV services for
these populations in DKI Jakarta.
