Preferences and access to community-based HIV testing sites among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Cote dIvoire
Conclusion Community-based HIV testing is well suited for MSM who identify as homosexual and those close to the MSM community, while maintaining undifferentiated HIV testing is essential for others. Both types of activities need to be maintained and developed. Healthcare professionals in undifferentiated HIV testing sites need to be properly trained in the non-judgemental reception of MSM.

Clusters of Rapid HIV Transmission Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men - United States, 2018-2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2022 Sep 23;71(38):1201-1206. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7138a1.ABSTRACTGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 68% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States in 2020* (1). Despite advances in treatment and prevention, HIV transmission among MSM continues, in part because of stigma and barriers to accessing prevention and treatment services (2). HIV cluster detection and response, a core strategy of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States initiative,† is an important tool for early identification and response to rapid HIV transmission, including among MSM.

Preferences for a Long-Acting, Removable Implant for HIV Prevention among MSM and Physicians: A Discrete Choice Study
This article describes a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to estimate the preference share for the implant within a competitive context of other PrEP products (including the oral tablet, dissolvable implant, and injection) and evaluate the impact of potential implant attributes. Physicians who had prescribed oral PrEP (n=75) and MSM at risk for HIV (n=175) completed a web-based survey which prompted decision-making about PrEP product preferences. The findings from both physicians and MSM demonstrated that the removable implant could capture a meaningful portion of the preference share, making it feasible to advance in the ...
