Objective:
To investigate the status of condom use and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide a basis for improving condom utilization rates and AIDS prevention and control in this population.
Methods:
From May to October 2024, a snowball sampling method was employed to recruit MSM in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on demographic characteristics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for consistent condom use.
Results:
A total of 921 MSM were surveyed, with a median age of 29.00 (interquartile range, 9.00) years. Among them, 697 (75.68%) were aware of AIDS-related knowledge, 826 (89.69%) expressed willingness to use PrEP, and 835 (90.66%) were willing to use PEP. Additionally, 787 (85.45%) MSM reported their age at first homosexual intercourse as ≥18 years, while 519 (56.35%) reported consistent condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that MSM who were aware of AIDS-related knowledge (OR=0.582, 95% CI: 0.423-0.801), willing to use PrEP (OR =0.611, 95% CI: 0.385-0.969), and whose age at first homosexual intercourse was <18 years (OR=0.480, 95% CI: 0.330-0.700) were less likely to consistent use condoms.
Conclusion
The proportion of consistent condom use among the MSM remains relatively low, which is primarily associated with AIDS-related knowledge, willingness to use PrEP, and the age at first homosexual intercourse.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture therapy in the treatment of chronic pelvic floor pain syndrome (CPPS).Methods:Ninety CPPS patients admitted to the Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2022 to July 2023 were selected prospectively, and they were divided into two groups by random number table method, each group with 45 cases. The control group received pelvic floor biofeedback treatment alone, while the observation group received pelvic floor biofeedback combined with electroacupuncture treatment. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment. After two courses of treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain degree before and after treatment, inflammatory factor levels, SF-36 health questionnaire (SF-36) scores, pelvic floor surface myoelectric parameters, and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 95.56% (43/45) vs. 75.56% (34/45), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 7.28, P<0.05). After treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the two groups were decreased, and SF-36 scores were increased, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the VAS scores, PCT, IL-6 and CRP levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and SF-36 scores was higher than that in the control group: (2.11 ± 0.24) scores vs. (2.87 ± 0.34) scores, (0.92 ± 0.08) ng/L vs. (1.26 ± 0.09) ng/L, (24.08 ± 2.52) μg/L vs. (28.49 ± 3.10) μg/L, (4.55 ± 0.51) mg/L vs. (6.06 ± 0.63) mg/L, (74.55 ± 7.29) scores vs. (70.18 ± 7.80) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the surface muscle potential of pelvic floor muscle were increased in the front resting stage, rapid contraction stage, tension contraction stage, endurance contraction stage and post-resting stage, and the above parameters in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (3.56 ± 0.34)μV vs.(3.20 ± 0.37) μV, (35.26 ± 3.05) μV vs. (31.47 ± 3.08) μV, (34.22 ± 3.25) μV vs. (31.15 ± 3.01)μV, (29.77 ± 3.17) μV vs. (27.04 ± 2.68) μV, (3.21 ± 0.27) μV vs. (3.00 ± 0.34) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the two groups had no statistical difference ( P>0.05).
