Resumen:
Objectives: To collect and analyse published and unpublished surveillance and research data on the
prevalence of same sex sexual activity among male adults (including male-to-female transgenders and sex
workers) in low and middle income countries.

To collect and analyse published and unpublished surveillance and research data on the
prevalence of same sex sexual activity among male adults (including male-to-female transgenders and sex
workers) in low and middle income countries.
Methods: Key indicators were operationalised (ever sex with a man, sex with a man last year, high risk sex
last year (as defined by unprotected anal sex or commercial sex)) and a database was designed for data
collection. Searches were conducted (PubMed, databases (US Census Bureau, World Bank, conferences))
and regional informants helped. Reference reports were used to assess the methodology and quality of
information in each record. The best data available per region were identified and indicator estimates
were used to propose regional range estimates.
Results: Of 561 studies on male sexual behaviour and/or MSM population characteristics, 67 addressed
prevalence of sex between men, with diverse numbers per region and virtual unavailability in sub-Saharan
Africa, Middle East/North Africa, and the English speaking Caribbean. Overall, data on lifetime
prevalence of sex with men (among males) yielded figures of 35% for East Asia, 612% for South and
South East Asia, 615% for Eastern Europe, and 620% for Latin America. Last year figures were
approximately half of lifetime figures, and prevalence of high risk sex among MSM last year was
approximately 4060% in all regions except South Asia, where it is 7090%.

Conclusions: Data available on the prevalence of male same sex sexual activity across regions are scarce
(non-existent in some areas), with validity and comparability problems. In South and South East Asia,
Eastern Europe, and Latin America, a lifetime prevalence of 620% was estimated, with smaller figures in
East Asia. A cross cultural analysis of terminology and practices is needed, as is continued work on
epidemiological and social analysis of male-male sexual practices in societies across regions.
