Timely linkage to care among men who have sex with men newly diagnosed with HIV: A structural equation model adapted from the HIV‐related stigma framework

These model results suggest that enhancing attention to family reactions and social support are needed for further research and interventions to accelerate newly diagnosed people's access to HIV care in China.
