Making the invisible, visible: A cross-sectional study of late presentation to HIV/Aids services among men who have sex with men from a large urban center of Brazil

The stigma around same-sex behaviors and the current focus of HIV prevention and treatment campaigns on younger age individuals may limit patients' and providers' awareness of the risk for HIV and access to available services. In addition to addressing HIV-…
