“Associations Between Punitive Policies and Legal Barriers to Consensual Same-Sex Sexual Acts and HIV Among Gay Men and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multicountry, Respondent-Driven Sampling Survey”

Background

Few assessments of associations between structural-level factors and HIV among gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM) have been conducted, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective was to examine HIV testing history, HIV status, and stigmas among MSM living in ten countries with heterogeneous legal environments.
