AB  - BACKGROUND: HIV prevalence data suggest that men who have sex with men (MSM) in 
      low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) are at increased risk of HIV. The 
      aim of this article is to present global estimates on key HIV prevention needs 
      and responses among MSM in LMIC. METHODS: Data on HIV testing, HIV prevention 
      coverage, HIV knowledge and condom use among MSM were derived from UNGASS country 
      progress reports submitted in 2008. Eligible country estimates were used to 
      calculate global and regional estimates, weighted for the size of MSM 
      populations. RESULTS: Of 147 LMIC, 45% reported at least 1 indicator that 
      reflects the HIV prevention needs and responses in MSM. Global weighted estimates 
      indicate that on average 31% of MSM in LMIC were tested for HIV; 33% were reached 
      by HIV prevention programs; 44% had correct HIV knowledge; and 54% used condoms 
      the last time they had anal sex with a man. CONCLUSIONS: The 2008 UNGASS country 
      reports represent the largest harmonized data set to date of HIV prevention needs 
      and responses among MSM in LMIC. Although reporting is incomplete and does not 
      always conform to requirements, findings confirm that, in many LMIC, HIV 
      prevention responses in MSM need substantial strengthening.
