Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the willingness of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent HIV transmission and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:Cross sectional survey design was used in this study. After informed consent, MSM aged 18 years or above and having had homosexual anal or oral sex in the past 6 months were recruited through "i WeChat" official account between September and November, 2019.Results:Of 1 517 MSM were surveyed, the proportion of MSM who had ever heard of PEP were 72.5% (1 100/1 517) and 87.9%(1 333/1 517) of the MSM said they would like to use PEP if it is needed.Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that aged above 25 year ( OR=1.807, 95% CI: 1.090-2.995), HIV test history ( OR=1.953, 95% CI: 1.171-3.256) and being aware of PEP ( OR=2.163, 95% CI: 1.468-3.186) were the positive factors for PEP use, but an aware of the HIV status of sexual partner was the negative factor for PEP ( OR=0.602, 95% CI: 0.407-0.890). Among MSM who had ever heard of PEP, the positive factors for PEP use included living in Zhejiang ( OR=1.942, 95% CI: 1.097-3.438), aged above 25 years ( OR=2.431, 95% CI: 1.331-4.439), being aware of PEP ( OR=3.714, 95% CI: 1.532-9.007) obtaining information about PEP service from MSM organization/volunteer/health organization. Conclusions:MSM's willingness to use PEP services was relatively high. Age, awareness of PEP related knowledge, and awareness of sexual partner's HIV infection status were the related factors. MSM organization/volunteer/health organization were the main forces for PEP promotion in MSM.
