What are the effective interventions for improving MSM health?

Several interventions have proven effective in improving health outcomes among MSM:

- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): Daily use of antiretroviral drugs by HIV-negative individuals to prevent HIV infection.
- Regular testing and early treatment: Encouraging regular STI and HIV testing, and ensuring prompt treatment for those who test positive.
- Behavioral Interventions: Programs that promote safer sex practices, such as condom use and reducing the number of sexual partners.
- Community Engagement: Involving MSM in the design and implementation of health programs to ensure they are culturally sensitive and effective.
- Addressing Mental Health: Providing mental health support and substance use treatment to address underlying issues that may lead to higher-risk behaviors.
