Abstract:
Objective To analyze the situation of HIV infection and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Wuxi city, 2016-2019, and to provide evidence for prevention and control of HIV infections in MSM. Methods Snowball sampling and online methods were used to recruit subjects, and a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among MSM by professionally trained investigators. Blood samples were collected for HIV tests. Results A total of 1 451 MSM were recruited in this study. The awareness rate of AIDS related knowledge was 93.52%. The positive rate of HIV was 5.86%. The analysis of demographic characteristics showed that the differences between different age groups (χ2=18.81, P<0.05), and different sexual orientations (χ2=28.84, P<0.05) were statistically significant. Analysis of high-risk behaviors showed that in the last 6 months, whether MSM had anal homosexual behavior (χ2=12.63, P<0.05), whether MSM had commercial anal homosexual behavior (=10.15, P<0.05), and whether MSM had heterosexual behavior (χ2=33.15, P<0.05) all had significant differences. There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of HIV antibody detection (P>0.05) for other factors. Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen health education and intervention measures among MSM.
