Findings from phase I will guide the development of phase II which consist of a larger number of YMSM, important baseline and follow-up questionnaires and comorbidities assessments, sexually transmitted infections testing, and integration to care. This protocol exclusively addresses the phase I of the study. Once the phase I findings are finalized, the principal investigator will submit the phase II to the IRB of the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University.
