Insights into Mental Health and Needs in Mental Health Care within HIV Context among Gay Men, Bisexual Men and Other Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) in Viet Nam

An overview of MSM's mental health research shows that the number of publications on this issue in Vietnam is limited. Meanwhile, recent international research shows that mental health and its relationship with other factors are outstanding topics that many researchers are concerned about. In the limit of time and resources, the research focuses on the specific mental health aspects and three related factors, including social support, self-stigma, and sexual behavior. On that basis, the research suggests potential psychosocial interventions to improve mental health, reduce HIV risky sexual behaviors, and increase access to health services in the Vietnamese MSM community.
