Abstract:
Objective To develop a HIV infection risk assessment tool for men who have sex with men (MSM) based on Delphi method.Methods After an exhaustive literature review,we used Delphi method to determine the specific items and relative risk scores of the assessment tool through two rounds of specialist consultation and overall consideration of the opinions and suggestions of 17 specialists.Results The positivity coefficient through first and second round specialist consultation was 100.0％ and 94.1％,respectively.The mean of authority coefficients (Cr) was 0.86.Kendall's W coefficient of the specialist consultation was 0.55 for the first round consultation (x2=84.426,P＜0.001) and 0.46 for the second round consultation (x2=65.734,P＜0.001),respectively,suggesting that the specialists had similar opinions.The final HIV infection risk assessment tool for MSM has 8 items.Conclusions The HIV infection risk assessment tool for MSM,developed under the Delphi method,can be used in the evaluation of HIV infection risk in MSM and individualized prevention and intervention.However,the reliability and validity of this risk assessment tool need to be further evaluated.
