Addressing the Continuum of Care Among High-risk Thai Men

CompletedNA

Sponsor: Mahidol University

Conditions: HIV/AIDS, STD

Interventions: HUG-M+

Countries: Thailand

Young Thai men who have sex with men (YMSM) are at high risk for HIV. However, the Thailand National HIV Strategy does not adequately cover HIV prevention for YMSM using specific methods relevant to them, and instead uses a one-size-fits all approach. Partnering with the Thailand Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), the proposed study seeks to finalize, implement and evaluate a multicomponent, multi-level, community mobilization, combination intervention (HUG-M+) to address the entire Continuum of Prevention and Care. The investigators propose to test the efficacy of this approach by conducting research in two Northeastern Thai cities, one randomized to the intervention condition, which will receive HUG-M+ and the other to the control condition, where standard of care will be provided. If HUG-M+ is found to be efficacious, it might be scaled up, with the support of the MOPH, to other regions in Thailand, elsewhere in Asia and the US.
