About this trial
Objective: To assess the burden and the transmission dynamics of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) infection in men who have sex with men in Hong Kong.
Design and setting: involving a) a cross-sectional study (completion of an online self-administered survey, followed by self-sampling for testing in the laboratory, and performance of HIV self-test); b) a mathematical modelling study to simulate the transmission dynamics of MG infection and resistant MG infection and compare the impacts of test-and-treat strategies.
Participants: Around 920 men who have sex with men would be recruited
