Proposed Project
Cohort Study of HIV, STIs and
Preventive Interventions among Young
MSM in Thailand—New—National
Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis,
STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a new information collection
request for 3 years of data collection.
In Thailand, there is a very high HIV
incidence in men who have sex with
men (MSM) and transgender women
(TGW). It is estimated that over 50% of
all new HIV infections are occurring in
MSM and TGW. At Silom Community
Clinic @Tropical Medicine (SCC
@TropMed), there is a reported average
HIV prevalence of 28% and HIV
incidence of 8 per 100 person-years in
young men.
An area with gaps of understanding
regarding the HIV epidemic in Thailand,
as well as globally, is the epidemiology,
risk factors, and HIV beliefs and
knowledge of gay identified and
transgender youth. In 2013, UNAIDS
reported that 95% of new HIV infections
were in low- and middle-income
countries, where more than one third
were in young people (<18 years) who
were unaware of their HIV status.
Adolescents living with HIV are more

likely to die from AIDS, and there is
little tracking of the HIV epidemic and
outcomes in adolescents.
We propose a study of males aged 15–
29 years at risk for HIV. The SCC
@TropMed, the clinical site of the
activity, is a Clinical Research Site
(CRS) and that conducts HIV prevention
research in network clinical trials
supported by National Institute of
Health (NIH). The data will be collected
from young MSM and TGW in Bangkok,

Thailand through the CRS that serves
MSM and transgender women (TGW).
Although there are other MSM and
TGW clinic settings in Bangkok, there is
no cohort data providing information on
incidence and risk factors for HIV
incidence in the young. Therefore, this
study also includes a longitudinal
assessment (cohort) to assess HIV and
sexually transmitted infection incidence
and prevalence. This study also
includes a qualitative component to

assess adolescent and key leaders HIV
prevention knowledge and practices. A
study of young men at risk in Thailand
is urgently needed to provide needed
data to assess and implement
prevention strategies and inform
policies for HIV prevention in Thailand,
as well as globally. There is no cost to
participants other than their time.
The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 814.

Proposed Project
Prevention Research Centers Program
National Evaluation Reporting System
(OMB No. 0920–0650, exp. 5/31/2016)—
Revision—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1984, Congress passed Public Law
98–551 directing the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) to
establish Centers for Research and
Development of Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention. In 1986, the CDC
received lead responsibility for this
program, referred to as the Prevention
Research Centers (PRC) Program. PRC
Program awardees are managed as a
CDC cooperative agreement with awards
made for five years.
In 2013, the CDC published program
announcement DP14–001 for the current
PRC Program funding cycle (September
30, 2014–September 29, 2019). Twentysix PRCs were selected through a
competitive, external, peer-review
process; the program is currently in its
second year of the five year funding
cycle.
