“…Studies in this systematic review included diverse MSM populations, including international studies in Asia [15,16,17,18,19,20], Africa [21,22,23], South America [24,25], and Europe [26,27] (41%); Black and Latino persons in the United States [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35] (25%); and young adults or adolescents [36,37,38,39] (13%). Half of studies (50%) used only community-based surveys [15,16,18,20,21,24,25,28,29,32,35,37,38,40,41,42], 38% ( n = 12) used population-based surveys [17,19,22,23,26,33,34,36,39,43,44,45], 9% ( n = 3) used both community and population-based surveys [27,30,31], and one study (3%) used surveillance data to conduct their analysis [46]. All studies were quantitative in nature and assessed the association between HIV infection and various demographic and behavioral characteristics among MSM.…”
