Objective To understand the characteristic of sexual behavior and their associated factors among male and female partners of men who have sex with men in Anhui province. Methods Cross-sectional studies were conducted among MSM in Hefei, Wuhu and Liuan in Anhui province. MSM were recruited through “snowball sampling” and “internet-based recruiting”, and eligible participant received an anonymous survey. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis model was used to identify risk factors associated with having sex with women in the last 6 months among MSM. Results Of the 1 200 MSM interviewed, 78.3% had anal sex with men, and 20.9% had vaginal intercourse with women, and 16.5% had sexual intercourse with both men and women in the past 6 months. Less MSM reported using condom every time with women (29.9%) in the past 6 months than with men (53.0%), and less reported using condom with women (52.2%) during the last sexual intercourse than with men(79.6%) (all P<0.05). The results of mutivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MSM who were married(including currently married/cohabitating/divorced/widowed), lived more than 2 years in the surveyed city, and had commercial sex with men were more likely to have sex with women. Conclusions There was a high proportion of bisexual behavior and low rate of condom use among MSM. It should strengthen the sexual health education, risk perception education and behavioral intervention among MSM.

Objective To analyze the positive conversion rate of negative spouse and the survival analysis on HIV sero-discordant couples. Methods Data were collected from the case report database of the integrated AIDS prevention and control data and information system. HIV sero-discordant couples diagnosed between September 1,1997 and September 1,2018 were recruited into the cohort. The participants were divided into three groups as untreated subgroup,routine treatment subgroup and early treatment subgroup according to the situation when they started HIV treatment. The positive conversion rate of negative spouse and the survival were compared among the three subgroups. Results 598 HIV sero-discordant couples were recruited and the overall survival time of the three subgroups were 258. 92,4 987.17 and 862.25 person-year. The rate of positive conversion were 6. 18/100,0. 48/100 and 0. 23/100 person-year. Multivariate Cox regression model showed that the hazard ratio of routine treatment subgroup ( HR = 0. 052,95% CI: 0. 037-0. 074) and early treatment subgroup ( HR=0. 011,95% CI: 0. 003-0. 035) were lower than untreated subgroup. The risk of death of women was lower than that of men( HR=0. 667,95% CI: 0. 472-0. 944) ; the older the age,the higher the risk of death ( HR=1. 041,95% CI: 1. 026-1. 056) ; and the risk of death of the unemployed is higher than that of farmers ( HR=1. 571,95% CI: 1. 037-2. 381) . Conclusion Targeted interventions methods and early antiviral therapy should be taken urgently for sero-discordant couples.
