USAID DIALOGUE ON HIV AND TB PROJECT
Audience Profile

During the first year of the USAID Dialogue on HIV and TB Project, quantitative research surveys were conducted among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Using the TRaC research tool (see section on Monitoring and Evaluation for description of TRaC), the project developed a general profile of an MSM in each country. Statistical data was used to develop the following table on social-demographic and behavioral information:
