HIV/sexually transmitted infection prevalence and sexual behavior of men who have sex with men in 3 districts of Botswana: results from the 2012 biobehavioral survey.

Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) suffer significant stigma and discrimination; hence, they are reluctant to access health services. The Botswana Second National Strategic Framework for 2010-2016 stipulates the need to increase HIV prevention services for key populations as one of its prevention implementation strategies. We report here the prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and risk factors for HIV infection among MSM in Botswana.
