Abstract | Background: Sexual ‘theme parties’ have become more popular among MSM (men who have sex with men) over time. They are typically attended by more ‘sexually adventurous’ MSM and associated with alcohol/other drug use. These factors may constitute heightened risks for HIV/STI transmission. Operating a regular, rapid HIV/STI testing service during theme parties (within a high-risk setting), represents a novel approach to health promotion and more accessible testing. This research sought to establish ‘proof of concept’, and evaluate the uptake and feasibility/acceptability of routine HIV/STI testing for MSM in a novel outreach environment. |
