Research forms an integral part of the Trust’s work. Its studies have played an important role in informing, designing and guiding interventions pertaining to the HIV related risk behaviours of men having sex with men (MSM). It has conducted research to study the relationship between clinical and behavioural data to find out the speed of the spread of the HIV virus.
