Abstract:
Objective To assess the current status of HIV test during the past year and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in college students in China.Methods Based on a MSM website,a cross-sectional study was conducted in 500 MSM in college students aged 18-25 years,who were selected based on the estimated HIV detection rate of 50％ in this population,by means of mobile phone questionnaire survey.x2 test and non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify the factors related with HIV test,respectively.Results The mean age of MSM in college students was 20.99 (± 0.04) years and the HIV test rate during the past year was 47.1％ (652/1 384).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that active factors associated with HIV test included awareness of HIV test (OR=6.37,95％CI:3.592-11.300),willing to receive regular HIV testing (OR=2.64,95％CI:1.191-2.631) well-knowing or not knowing of the HIV infection statues of their regular sex partners (OR=3.58,95％ CI:2.138-5.996),(OR=2.25,95％ CI:1.479-3.422),respectively.The negative factors associated with HIV test included believing their regular sex partners not being infected with HIV (OR=0.65,95％CI:0.445-0.938),having only one regular sex partner during the past year (OR=0.37,95％CI:0.232-0.589).Conclusion The survey indicated that the HIV test rate in MSM in college students during the past year was low.The MSM in college students are usually sexual active,but less of them received HIV test due to the trust between them and less number of sexual partners.Close attention should be paid to the AIDS intervention in this population.
