“…Thus, using peers as deliverers may support a comfortable intervention atmosphere for these populations. Our review supports another review which concluded that peer-led interventions reduced the overall unprotected sex among MSM (Ye et al, 2014). One study in this review also reported that MI was effective in reducing the number of sex partners of young MSM living with HIV (Rongkavilit et al, 2013).…”

To control the transmission of STIs in China, diverse interventions such as community-based peer interventions, interventions to increase condom use and HIV testing, healthcare provider interventions, internet-based interventions, integrated HIV-prevention interventions, and peer-led interventions, have been conducted (4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”
