Method: This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The main informants consisted of 10 MSM domiciled in the Jember Regency, selected using the snowball technique.

Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, while data analysis used the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. Result: The results of the study showed that self-disclosure in MSM was influenced by several main factors, namely motivation, intensity, accuracy of feedback, time, and depth and breadth of information shared. The majority of informants felt comfortable opening up to peers and MSM friends compared to family or health workers. Negative feedback from the social environment tended to inhibit openness, while positive support could increase motivation to share information.
