Detailed Description
This study is a prospective observational cohort study that will enroll up to 6,000 Thai MSM and TG from drop-in centers in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chonburi and Songkhla. Each participant will have HIV testing at baseline and will be followed up for 18 months.
HIV-negative participants will be asked to have HIV re-testing every 6 months. HIV-positive participants will have POC CD4 testing and ART initiation regardless of CD4 count will be offered. Those who accept ART will be followed up at week 2, week 4, month 2, month 3 and every 3 months thereafter. Those who deny ART will be followed up every 3 months.
Uptake of HIV re-testing will be determined. Access to POC CD4 testing and acceptability of ART initiated at HIV diagnosis regardless of CD4 count along with ART adherence will also be determined.
