Diagnosis

  • Management

  • No management strategies are discussed in the provided abstracts.
  • Special Populations

  • No information regarding special populations (pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, comorbidities) is available in the provided abstracts.
  • Key Recommendations

  • Effective identification and prediction of individuals at substantial risk for HIV infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) is a global priority 1.
  • HIV risk assessment tools can improve individual risk awareness and subsequent health-seeking actions 1.
  • Age, number of male sexual partners, unprotected receptive anal intercourse, recreational drug usage (amphetamines, poppers), and sexually transmitted infections are critical scoring variables in HIV infection risk prediction models for MSM 1.
  • Eight externally validated HIV infection risk prediction models for MSM have demonstrated moderate-to-good discrimination performance, with pooled areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) ranging from 0.62 to 0.83 1.
  • Validation of HIV infection risk prediction models across different geographic and ethnic environments is needed 1.
