Abstract

AbstractIntroductionThe population of men who have sex with men (MSM) in India is vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. India instituted a targeted intervention (TI) programme to reduce this vulnerability. We aimed to measure the assessment of the TI programme for MSM.Materials and MethodsThe national Integrated Biological and Behavioural Survey (IBBS) was carried out in 2014–2015. We analysed MSM data from the IBBS and used bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to calculate the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. The use of a condom during their last sexual intercourse and consistent condom use during the previous month were considered indicators of programme effectiveness. The propensity score matching method was used to assess the effectiveness of the TI programme.ResultsThe matched‐samples estimate (i.e., average treatment effect on treated) for the use of condoms during their last sexual intercourse increased by 10.0% (0.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.08–0.12), and consistent condom use during the previous month increased by 9.0% (0.09; 95% CI 0.07–0.10) among those who had received condoms from the peer educator/outreach worker compared with those who had not received condoms.ConclusionsThe TI programme intervention among MSM was effective in reducing HIV risk behaviours, as evidenced by an increase in the use of condoms during their last sexual intercourse and consistent condom use during the last month.
