Example Responses:<br />

Effects:<br />

MSM feel insulted, humiliated, <strong>and</strong> angry, <strong>and</strong> having no solutions to their<br />

health problems<br />

MSM patients stop using the clinic <strong>and</strong> do not get their STIs treated<br />

MSM have to find other forms of treatment, e.g., private doctors who treat them<br />

with more confidentiality <strong>and</strong> less stigma, or self-treatment<br />

It may affect their self-esteem/self-confidence<br />

<strong>and</strong> they may deny their sexual risk<br />

<strong>and</strong> take more risks in their<br />

sexual behavior (e.g., not using<br />

condoms)<br />

Short hair MSM find it difficult to<br />

talk openly about situation for fear<br />

they may be stigmatized<br />
