Foreign-born MSM in Japan demonstrate strong engagement in HIV prevention and higher social capital, alongside persistent barriers to community awareness and mental health service access. These findings highlight the importance of addressing structural and informational barriers and supporting community-based organisations to improve equitable health and wellbeing outcomes among MSM in Japan.
