Summary

This study tested a program called HUG-M+ designed to help young Thai men who have sex with men get tested for HIV and reduce risky behaviors. Over 600 men aged 15-29 took part in two cities, one receiving the program and the other standard care. The goal was to see if the program increases HIV testing and reduces condomless sex over two years.
