Abstract

In Thailand, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is recommended for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among at-risk men who have sex with men (MSM). We modeled the impact of PrEP and condom use as independent and combined interventions on the estimated number of HIV infections among a hypothetical population of 10,000 MSM in Bangkok, Thailand. Our model demonstrated a 92% (95% confidence interval 89.7, 94.2) reduction in HIV infections among Thai MSM who took daily PrEP and self-reported using condoms correctly and consistently (100% condom use). Increased use of PrEP and condoms likely would have a substantial impact on the HIV epidemic in Thailand.

Keywords: Bangkok; HIV; Pre-exposure prophylaxis; Thailand; condom; men who have sex with men.
