Abstract:
Objective :To investigate the factors affecting multiple sexual partner behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) at ages of 16 to 24 years in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the integrated interventions for HIV/AIDS among adolescents.
Methods :The demographic features, sexual behaviors and HIV testing were collected from MSM at ages of 16 to 24 years in Zhejiang Province through the Management Information System of China AIDS Fund for Non-governmental Organizations (CAFNGO) in 2021. The factors affecting multiple sexual partner behaviors were identified among MSM at ages of 16 to 24 years using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results :A total of 1 253 participants were enrolled, with a mean age of (21.16±2.06) years. There were 1 219 unmarried respondents (97.29%), 807 (64.61%) with diploma and above, 250 (19.95%) with multiple sexual partners during the past 3 months, 344 (27.45%) with unprotected sexual behaviors in the past 3 months, 71 (5.67%) that had used rush or new drugs, 511 (40.78%) that were unaware of their sexual partners' HIV infections, 28 (2.23%) with symptoms or diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases, and 35 (2.79%) with positive HIV testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age (19 years-, OR=2.563, 95%CI: 1.404-4.679; 22 to 24 years, OR=2.149, 95%CI: 1.180-3.913), having unprotected sexual behaviors in the past 3 months (OR=5.338, 95%CI: 3.938-7.237), having used rush or new drugs in the past 3 months (OR=3.669, 95%CI: 2.142-6.286), unaware of sexual partners' HIV infections(OR=1.402, 95%CI: 1.032-1.903), and positive HIV tests (OR=2.763, 95%CI: 1.298-5.880) as factors affecting multiple sexual behaviors among MSM at ages of 16 to 24 years.
Conclusions :The multiple sexual behaviors correlate with age, unprotected sexual behaviors, use of rush or new drugs and unawareness of sexual partners' HIV infections among MSM at ages of 16 to 24 years.
