In Thailand, there is a very high HIV incidence in men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW). It is estimated that over 50% of all new HIV infections are occurring in MSM and TGW.

The data will be collected from young MSM and TGW in Bangkok, Thailand through the CRS that serves MSM and transgender women (TGW). Although there are other MSM and TGW clinic settings in Bangkok, there is no cohort data providing information on incidence and risk factors for HIV incidence in the young. Therefore, this study also includes a longitudinal assessment (cohort) to assess HIV and sexually transmitted infection incidence and prevalence. This study also includes a qualitative component to assess adolescent and key leaders HIV prevention knowledge and practices. A study of young men at risk in Thailand is urgently needed to provide needed data to assess and implement prevention strategies and inform policies for HIV prevention in Thailand, as well as globally.

Background and Brief Description In 1984, Congress passed Public Law 98–551 directing the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to establish Centers for Research and Development of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. In 1986, the CDC received lead responsibility for this program, referred to as the Prevention Research Centers (PRC) Program. PRC Program awardees are managed as a CDC cooperative agreement with awards made for five years. In 2013, the CDC published program announcement DP14–001 for the current PRC Program funding cycle (September 30, 2014–September 29, 2019). Twentysix PRCs were selected through a competitive, external, peer-review process; the program is currently in its second year of the five year funding cycle. E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1

HIV beliefs and knowledge of gay identified and transgender youth. In
2013, UNAIDS reported that 95% of new HIV infections were in low- and
