Preventing HIV Transmission among Partners of HIV-Positive Male Sex Workers in Mexico City

Mexico has a concentrated HIV epidemic, with male sex workers constituting a key affected population. 

...We estimated annual HIV incidence among male sex workers' partners to be 8.0%. Simulation models demonstrated that increasing condom use by 10%, and scaling up HIV treatment initiation by 50% (from baseline values) would decrease the male sex workers-attributable annual incidence to 5.2, 4.4 % (CVS) and 3.2 % (FVS), respectively. 

Scaling up the number of male sex workers on ART and implementing interventions to ensure adherence is urgently required to decrease HIV incidence among male sex workers' partners in Mexico City.
