Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to develop a stigma reduction and HIV awareness program for a HIV risk population, especially for men who have sex with men (MSM), focusing in rural areas of Mongolia. Outreach to rural MSM and the program development were severely limited by the new coronavirus pandemic and national lockdown control. However, with our research collaborate, Mongolian NGO staff conducted Internet survey of MSM in 2021 and 2022. In addition, with the cooperation of the Mongolian Ministry of Health, Mongolian NGO staff introduced their activities and conducted program to reduce discrimination and prejudice toward MSM and People living with HIV targeting health care workers involved in HIV testing, medical care, and counseling in rural areas.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
モンゴルにおいてHIV感染のリスクの高い集団である同性間で性的接触を行う男性(以下、MSM)に対する差別や偏見の低減に取り組む研究を行った。研究協力者の当事者団体(以下、NGO)は保健省の協力を得て、地方7地域でHIV対策を行う医療従事者を対象にNGOの活動紹介とMSMやHIV陽性者に対する差別や偏見の低減を目的としたプログラムを実施した。参加者にはプログラムの実施前後に、HIV陽性者と性的少数者に対する偏見尺度を用いた質問紙調査を実施し、プログラムの有効性を確認した。またMSM対象のインターネット調査を実施し、HIV感染予防行動やHIV情報の入手行動、偏見や差別の経験について実態を把握した。
