TI  - Increasing HIV prevalence and injection drug use among men who have sex with men 
      in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

AB  - Vietnam has been conducting HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) integrated 
      bio-behavioral surveillance surveys on men who have sex with men (MSM) as well as 
      other key populations since 2005. Although HIV prevalence in the Vietnamese 
      general population remains below 1%, it is expected to be much higher among 
      MSM.Data on HIV prevalence and sexual and drug use behaviors were collected from 
      MSM in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in 2006 (n = 397), 2009 (n = 399) and 2013 
      (n = 350) using respondent-driven sampling. Eligible participants were males, 
      aged >/=15 years who reported having manual, oral, or anal sexual activity with 
      males in the past year and lived, worked or socialized in HCMC.HIV seroprevalence 
      among MSM was 5.8% in 2006, 16.1% in 2009 and 12.1% in 2013 and prevalence of at 
      least one STI (syphilis, gonorrhea and/or chlamydia infection) was 11.4% in 2006 
      and 15.6% in 2009 (no data for 2013). Significant, but small, increasing trends 
      were found for MSM who reported ever testing and receiving results for HIV and 
      for HIV prevalence. No significant changes for condom use, injecting and 
      non-injecting drug use, or and receipt of free condoms were observed.Although a 
      small percentage of MSM reported injecting drugs, HIV was positively associated 
      with ever injecting drugs. Programs targeting MSM should include screening and 
      treatment for injection drug use to most effectively control the HIV/AIDS 
      epidemic among MSM in HCMC.
