This pilot study examined the feasibility and acceptability of the HIV/AIDS self-management education program-Thai (HASMEP-T) for HIV-positive Thai men who have sex with men (MSM). HASMEP-T is a group-based adaptation of the evidence-based intervention, HASMEP. Participants were 40 Thai MSM living with HIV aged 18 years or older, recruited from an HIV clinic housed in a hospital in Thailand. Results support the feasibility of recruitment, screening, eligibility, and retention methods. The majority of the participants reported that the intervention was acceptable and met their initial expectations. Furthermore, all recruited participants in the intervention group (n = 20) completed HASMEP-T. Overall, intervention group participants demonstrated significant increases in all aspects of HIV self-management (p < .05), as well as improvement in quality of life in the psychological domain (p < .05). Our findings provide preliminary support for the large-scale, randomized-controlled trial of the efficacy of HASMEPT to promote self-management behaviors among HIV-positive Thai MSM.

针对泰国与男性发生性关系的艾滋病毒阳性男子的艾滋病毒/艾滋病自我管理教育计划的可行性和可接受性

这项初步研究研究了泰国艾滋病毒/艾滋病自我管理教育计划（HASMEP-T）对与男性发生性关系的泰国艾滋病毒阳性男性的可行性和可接受性。HASMEP-T是基于证据的干预措施HASMEP的基于组的改编。参加者是从泰国一家医院的一家艾滋病诊所中招募的40名年龄在18岁以上的泰国MSM感染者。结果支持了招募，筛选，资格和保留方法的可行性。大多数参与者报告说干预是可以接受的，并达到了他们最初的期望。此外，干预组（n = 20）的所有招募参与者均完成了HASMEP-T。总体而言，干预组参与者证明了艾滋病毒自我管理各个方面的显着增加（p <.05），以及在心理领域改善生活质量（p <.05）。我们的发现为HASMEPT在泰国HIV阳性MSM中促进自我管理行为的功效的大规模随机对照试验提供了初步支持。
