Recent HIV/AIDS surveillance data show that the number of people living with HIV in Europe is increasing and that HIV infection among men who have sex with men is the predominant mode of transmission in the countries of the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA). In 2010, the European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men Internet Survey (EMIS) collected comparable data in 25 languages, advertised and promoted on at least 237 national and transnational websites for MSM and via non-governmental organisations. As such, it is the largest transnational survey among MSM ever conducted – regarding the number of participants, the number of countries covered and the number of different language versions available. The survey aimed at providing data for the future planning of public health interventions and (if repeated) to facilitate the monitoring of changes over time in the behaviour, needs and interventions affecting HIV incidence among MSM. |
