High and rising HIV prevalence among populations of men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender persons have now been documented throughout much of Asia and the Pacific region. Up to 40% of Asia’s epidemic is projected to be constituted by transmissions attributed to male to male sex by 2015, rising from 13% in 2008.1 Sex between men has already accounted for approximately a third of HIV transmission in Asia and the Pacific, although this is very likely to be underreported.2 Many of these infections are occurring and will continue to occur among young men. |
