The rate of HIV is exploding in the men who have sex with men (MSM) population in the Philippines. There is a paucity of information with respect to sexual behaviour, condom use, psychological health, and the prevalence of other STIs in the MSM subpopulation. At present there are no existing private or public clinical services in the country that focus on health services of MSM. We discuss the current epidemic situation and the steps needed to further define the rapidly evolving epidemic among MSM.
在菲律宾，男男性行为者（MSM）群体中的艾滋病毒感染率正在急剧上升。关于该亚群体的性行为、避孕套使用情况、心理健康状况以及其他性传播感染的患病率，目前信息匮乏。该国目前没有专注于男男性行为者健康服务的私立或公立临床服务机构。我们讨论了当前的疫情形势以及进一步明确男男性行为者中迅速演变的疫情所需采取的措施。
