About EMIS 2017

The overall aim of EMIS 2017 is to generate data useful for the planning of HIV and STI prevention and care programmes and the monitoring of national progress in this area (by comparing with the results of previous surveys). The survey seeks to describe the level and distribution of HIV transmission risk and precautionary behaviours; related HIV prevention needs; and to assess self-reported STI testing behaviours, testing performance and STI diagnoses, including viral hepatitis. At a country level, the survey generated data for understanding the needs of populations and directing prevention programmes. At the international level, patterns of policy, service and cultural responses can be examined for their impact on epidemic spread and containment, providing knowledge beyond the grasp of any one country.

EMIS 2017 was live and collecting data from gay, bisexual, and other MSM in 50 countries between 18 October 2017 and 31 January 2018. The online questionnaire was available simultaneously in 33 languages - PDFs of all the language-versions of the questionnaire are available here. More than 100,000 men in the European Union took part, in addition to more than 6,000 in EFTA countries, and about 7,000 in countries in the EU Enlargement Area or the European Neighbourhood Policy. We also recruited 6,000 MSM in Russia, 6,000 in Canada, and 3,500 in the Philippines.

EMIS 2017 was undertaken by Sigma Research at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) in association with the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin. EMIS core team: Ford Hickson, David Reid, Axel J Schmidt and Peter Weatherburn @ LSHTM, and Uli Marcus and Susi B. Schink @ RKI.
