Justin Sorge - Estimation of the Population Size of Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in Canada, 2020

Globally, and locally in Canada, gay-, bisexual- (GB) identifying, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are overrepresented among people living with HIV. GBMSM account for approximately half of new HIV infections in Canada, despite representing only 2-4% of adult males. A nuanced understanding of the HIV epidemic among GBMSM has been limited by the challenges estimating this population size. We aim to calculate population size estimates based on GB identity (regardless of sexual experience) plus MSM that do not identify as GB but reported anal sex with a man in the past 1-5 years; and in addition, an estimate of GBMSM reporting past 6-12 month anal sex with a man.
