HR-MSM (high-risk men who have sex with men); IDU (injecting drug user); FSW (female sex worker). Results were obtained from published sources for the following countries: Uganda (Uganda MOT and Country Report) [17], [21], Kenya (Kenya MOT and Country Report) [5], [22], Nigeria (Nigeria Country Report) [24], Peru (Peru MOT) [25], Thailand [13]. National HIV prevalence estimates for key populations in India were obtained from country level reports [48], [49].
