Project Yes+ for Young MSM Living With HIV in Vietnam

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mental Disorder, HIV Stigma

In brief

In Vietnam, adolescent and young men who have sex with men (AYMSM) are among those most affected by HIV, and they also experience significant HIV-related mental health and stigma challenges. The study team proposes to adapt Project YES+ to address both mental health and internalized HIV stigma among AYMSM living with HIV in Vietnam. This research will build local capacity and develop networks for collaborative research on mental health and stigma in this population between Vietnam, Zambia and the United States.
