Research data on HIV prevalence and incidence among men who have sex with men (MSM) in low- and middle-income countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. The dataset was compiled by author Chris Beyrer and is hosted on Papers with Code. It likely contains information on structural and individual-level risk factors, service access, and epidemiological estimates.
Use Cases
- Modeling HIV prevalence disparities based on geographic and structural risk factors mentioned in the description
- Analyzing the relationship between criminalization, stigma, and HIV service access for MSM populations

Strengths
- Focuses on a key population (MSM) in multiple low- and middle-income country regions, as specified in the description
- Addresses both individual-level and structural risk factors for HIV, as indicated in the research summary
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
- Data may reflect geographic or source bias inherent to the Papers with Code platform
