Results: The HIV prevalence among MSM were 22% and predominant among 20-29 years old. Majority of them were employed (86.4%) and all of them have completed at least secondary school (50%) and tertiary education (50%). 72.7% of the HIV positive participants have adequate knowledge on HIV based on scores of UNGASS questions.
