Web-Based Respondent-Driven Sampling to Assess Biobehavioral Factors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Thailand: Cross-Sectional Study
We successfully conducted a web-based RDS survey among MSM in Thailand, covering nearly the entire country, although, as in physical RDS surveys, sampling was dominated by younger MSM. The survey also failed to collect biomarkers in Bangkok. Public health interventions should aim at increasing testing and addressing (the perception of) stigma.
