Impact of Age of Sexual Debut on HIV Care Engagement Among Sexual and Gender Minorities in Nigeria
SGM with <16-year debut engaged in behaviors that could increase HIV risk and were less likely to have a history of HIV testing. However, once enrolled in SGM-friendly clinics, uptake of HIV care was not associated with <16-year debut, suggesting that SGM-friendly care models may promote HIV care engagement.
