“…The highest prevalence of the disease COVID-19 was reported in the Czech Republic on Men who have sex with men (MSM) are a group of men who have sex with men regardless of their orientation and sexual identification [11]. This key group was chosen because it is at higher risk for STIs [12], and its sexual behavior can significantly influence the spread of STIs to the majority population.…”

Aim: MSM is one of the key groups to HIV. The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions implemented in connection with it have fundamentally changed social and sexual life. These effects may have been much more potent for minority groups, such as MSM, than for the majority population. Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study used data from an online questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was distributed using social networks. Descriptive characteristics and prevalence were calculated. ANOVA was used to test for differences between variables. Results:A total of 701 responses were analyzed. The median age was 25-29 years, the most common was university education (33.1 %), and the majority lived in a city (77.2 %). 77.6 % identified as homosexual. 44.7 % had experienced COVID-19, and 76.2 % reported vaccination against COVID-19. 24.3 % did not know their HIV status, and 5.6 % said they were HIV positive. Conclusion:Knowledge of HIV status increased with age; many respondents did not know their HIV status. Along with education and economic activity, age was a significant factor for HIV, COVID-19, and vaccination. HIV prevalence was higher in the MSM population than reported by previous studies, highlighting the need for further studies and testing in this subpopulation.

“…This may include male sex workers, bisexual and heterosexually identifying men who have other partners (male and/or female) or a wife. 6 The term waria originally comes from the combination of wanita (woman) and pria (man) terms which are roughly similar to ‘male transvestite’. 7 The term waria is complex and has a range of different interpretations.…”

Introduction The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among MSM (men who have sex with men) and transgender women (waria) in Bali is of significant public health concern. According to the 2015 Integrated Biological and Behavioural Survey (IBBS), HIV prevalence among MSM in Denpasar (the capital city of Bali) was 36% – the highest prevalence in this population reported nationally. In addition, 26% of MSM and 25% of waria in Indonesia were living with HIV in 2015. There is limited research examining the attitudes, behaviours and experiences of MSM in Indonesia, and specifically in Bali. This study will develop a model to help understand the social-cultural context, attitudes, behaviours, and experiences to inform interventions to increase safe sex practices amongst Indonesian MSM and waria who live in Bali. Methods and analysis The community-engaged research (CEnR) study, employing a sequential mixed-methods approach, will engage MSM and waria community throughout all five phases. The first two phases will include partnership building and exploratory research (focus group discussions/FGDs). Phase three will include the administration of a survey ( n = 374 Indonesian MSM and waria). Phases four and five include explanatory (in-depth interviews) and dissemination phases, respectively. Multivariate analysis will be employed for the quantitative data (the survey) and thematic analysis will be used to analyse the qualitative data (FGDs and in-depth interviews). Discussion The findings of this CEnR will inform culturally congruent interventions for organisation working with MSM and transgender to promote safer sexual health practice and improve general well-being of this community.
