The TRUST model based on experimental and observational data posits that integration of HIV prevention and universal coverage of antiretroviral treatment at a trusted community venue provides a framework for achieving effective reduction in HIV-related morbidity and mortality among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV, as well as reducing HIV incidence. The analyses presented here evaluate the utility of respondent-driven sampling as an implementation tool for engaging MSM in the TRUST intervention.
