This project is the first research to be conducted with men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender (TG) people in Fiji since 1998. It aims to inform the public health response to HIV and sexual health among MSM and Tg in Fiji and assist in the development of community-based activities. The research was community-based and the survey data were collected by MSM and Tg community research assistants.
Although not necessarily representative of all MSM and TG in Fiji, the data gathered in this research are extremely valuable in helping to understand the risk behaviour and other factors among MSM and TG, and in enabling the development of recommendations for future HIV prevention and health promotion actions. As a community-based study, this research was very much focused on generating information to help answer the question: "Where to from here?".
