We believe that the end of AIDS is possible if there is more focus on key populations. Our project in Kyrgyzstan addresses barriers faced by the PWUD community related to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Driven by community champions, we work to realize a more supportive drug policy; a strong PWUD community that is respected by society and the government; and increased access to high-quality services for (young) PWUD. The Kyrgyz Republic is a country with low HIV prevalence in the general population. However, between 2006 and 2015, the number of officially registered cases of HIV infections in the country rose 5.7 times to a total number of 6,402 people living with HIV. Key populations carry a heavy burden of the epidemic, for example the HIV prevalence among people who inject drugs (PWID) is 12,4%. Injecting drug use is the primary driver of HIV infection in the Kyrgyz Republic, where more than 50% of HIV infections occur in PWID. One of the reasons that there has been some increase is the limited access to prevention programmes and healthcare for key populations. For the last four years, the overall political situation in Kyrgyzstan has been fragile and dynamic at the same time. The year 2014 was marked by a troubling trend in the country, as the government failed to promote and consolidate political and civil rights that many had hoped would follow the 2010 constitutional reforms and change of government. The rise of religious and radical nationalistic movements has led to sporadic cases of discrimination and violence against key populations. The spring of 2016 brought long-awaited positive changes, when the country’s parliament finally declined a draft law on “foreign agents” due to strong political pressure.
