We populated the model with published and programmatic data from the Thai national AIDS program when available. We projected the period from 2005\u20132025 and compared model results to programmatic data and projections from other models. In a scenario analysis, we projected the potential impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for MSM from 2018\u20132025.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The initial 2005 cohort was comprised of 66,900 CYHIV; 8% CYHIV were &lt;5 years, 21% were 5\u201314 years, and 71% were 15\u201325 years of age. By 2020, 94% were projected to be &gt;15 years and infections among MSM constituted 83% of all new HIV infections. The numbers of CYHIV decreased over time, projected to reach 30,760 by 2020 (-54%) and 22,640 by 2025 (-66%). The proportion of all CYHIV aged 0\u201325 who were diagnosed and on ART increased from 37 to 60% over the 2005\u20132025 period. Projections were sensitive to variations in assumptions about initial HIV prevalence and incidence among MSM, PWID, and \u201cother\u201d youth.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>More data on incidence rates among sexual and gender minority youth and PWID are needed to characterize the role of specific exposures and key populations in the adolescent HIV epidemic.
