The study participants had an average age of 25.5 ± 6.3 years old, 18.7% of MSM received support from a peer group, 46.7% of MSM had mild or higher anxiety levels. The results showed a significant difference in ARV treatment adherence and quality of life between the intervention group and the control group at 3 and 6 months (p-value < 0.05). The rate of high-level adherence to ART increased significantly in the intervention group from 42.1% to 53.4% after 3 months and 67.0% after 6 months, while the control group decreased from 48.6% to 36.7% after 3 months and 37.6% after 6 months. The score of quality of life among intervention group increased from 13.9 to 16.9 after 3 months and 17.1 after 6 months, with an increasing trend in most domains, except personal beliefs.
