  abstract = {{E}mpowerment is an ongoing process through which individuals and communities appropriate power and acquire the capability to function autonomously. {R}esearch on empowerment in men who have sex with men ({MSM}) is lacking in community-based contexts. {W}e investigated the relationship between willingness to be empowered and {HIV} care needs in {W}est {A}frican {MSM} accessing community-based organisations' ({CBO}) services. {F}ifty-three interviews were administered to {HIV}-negative {MSM} participating in the {C}oh{MSM} study ({M}ali, {B}urkina {F}aso, {C}ote d'{I}voire, {T}ogo). {F}ive indicators of empowerment were identified from a discourse analysis: (i) motivation to access {HIV} services, (ii) willingness to improve {HIV} services, (iii) desire to be involved in new activities, (iv) desire to participate in such services, (v) willingness to collaborate in decision making. {B}ased on these indicators, participants were classified into two profiles: high (19/53, 36%) and low (34/53, 64%) level of willingness to be empowered ({HWE}, {LWE}). {U}sing a thematic analysis, {HWE} participants were focused on collective benefit (preventive follow-up, questions about {MSM} identity), while {LWE} participants were centred on individual benefit (medical care). {CBO}s should consider empowerment as a tool to advance collective health benefits for {MSM}. {T}o improve empowerment in {MSM}, specific training on issues regarding sexual identity and stigma is needed for {CBO} providers.},
