Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate preferences for HIV care among participants enrolled in the "Study to evaluate the feasibility of Community-based Test and Treat strategies among men who have sex with men and transgender women to increase the uptake of HIV testing and treatment services in Thailand" through a model involving linked strategies: The study takes place in four provinces at six sites affiliated with the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Center (TRCARC): Bangkok (RSAT and SWING), Chiang Mai (CAREMAT), Chonburi (SWING and Sisters) and Songkhla (RSAT). These are all community-based drop-in centers, targeting MSM and TGW.

Participants who are enrolled in the study at any of the TRCARC affiliated sites and who were tested HIV-positive will be invited to participate in the current questionnaire study.
