Kauntim Mi Tu Port Moresby 2017: Key Findings from the Key Population Integrated Bio-Behavioural Survey Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

Kauntim mi tu, an integrated bio-behavioural survey (IBBS) of women and girls who sell and exchange sex (from here on referred to as FSW), and men who have sex with men and transgender women (from here on referred to as MSM/TG), was conducted to support the scale-up of essential HIV prevention and treatment services for these populations. The survey was conducted in Port Moresby between June and November 2016 and used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to recruit participants. Kauntim mi tu had two goals: 1) to conduct Papua New Guinea’s first population size estimations of FSW and MSM/TG; and 2) to collect representative bio-behavioral data about FSW and MSM/TG in order to inform HIV and STI prevention and treatment services and policy.
