HIV Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance (IBBS) surveys were conducted in 2016-2017 among males who have sex with males (MSM) in Dili and Baucau, Timor-Leste to track the HIV epidemic, monitor sexual risk behaviours, and to measure access to intervention programs in responding to HIV. MSM were defined as biological males, aged 17 to 49 years, having had anal sex with a male in the past 12 months, and living in the survey area. This survey resulted in a sample of 200 FSW in Dili and 105 FSW in Baucau.
