Objective:To investigate the prevalence of syphilis in HIV-infected patients with transmission risk and influencing factors in Zhejiang Province.Method:The information about the HIV-infected patients, who were alive, had been diagnosed with HIV for >1 year, had received no antiviral treatment or had HIV viral load ≥50 copies/ml, and were aged ≥15 years, reported in Zhejiang as of December 31, 2018 were collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The information included general demographic characteristics, sexual behavior characteristics and antiretroviral therapy and syphilis serological test results. The prevalence of syphilis and the influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression model. The SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 2 275 HIV-infected patients were at risk of HIV transmission, and 75.5% (1 717/2 275) of them were tested for syphilis, the prevalence rate of syphilis was 8.7% (150/1 717). Among the HIV-infected patients with syphilis, 11.3% (17/150) received no antiviral treatment, 38.7% (58/150) had viral load of 50-999 copies/ml and 50.0% (75/150) had ≥1 000 copies/ml. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being men (a OR=2.04, 95% CI:1.06-3.96), homosexual transmission (a OR=1.53, 95% CI:1.04-2.27), history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) before HIV diagnosis (a OR=1.98, 95% CI:1.35-2.92) and HIV viral load ≥1 000 copies/ml (a OR=1.90, 95% CI:1.09-3.30) were the risk factors for syphilis. Marriage (a OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.29-0.76) was a protective factor for syphilis. Conclusions:The prevalence of syphilis was high in HIV-infected patients with transmission risk in Zhejiang. It is urgent to carry out classified management and targeted intervention in HIV-infected patients, explore multi-disease prevention and treatment mechanism, strengthen syphilis screening and treatment in HIV-infected patients to reduce the transmission of HIV and syphilis.

Objective:
To investigate the factors affecting HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors, so as to provide the evidence for improving the detection of HIV testing among young college students.
Methods:
Four undergraduate universities and one junior college were randomly sampled from Hangzhou City using a purposive sampling method during the period between September and November, 2021, and male students with self-reported sexual behaviors were recruited as study students. Participants' demographics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors and HIV testing were collected using questionnaires, and factors affecting HIV testing using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 720 male college students with sexual behaviors were enrolled, including 180 freshmen (25.00%), 178 sophomores (24.72%), 163 juniors (22.64%), 50 seniors (6.94%) and 149 postgraduates (20.69%), and 94 students received HIV testing (13.06%), including 57.45% receiving self-testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified postgraduates (OR=0.302, 95%CI: 0.127-0.719), sexual orientation (homosexual, OR=0.090, 95%CI: 0.028-0.294; bisexual/uncertain, OR=0.181, 95%CI: 0.066-0.495), awareness of HIV testing (low awareness, OR=0.411, 95%CI: 0.176-0.957; moderate awareness, OR=0.305, 95%CI: 0.123-0.757; high awareness, OR=0.087, 95%CI: 0.032-0.235) as factors affecting HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors.
Conclusions
The prevalence of HIV testing correlates with awareness of HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors. Improvements in health education of HIV testing and accessibility of HIV testing services are recommended.

Objective:
To investigate the characteristics of temporary heterosexual behaviors among male college students through Internet dating, so as to provide insights into HIV/AIDS control among young college students.
Methods:
A total of 15 universities/colleges were sampled from Zhejiang Province using a stratified cluster sampling method, and 3 schools/departments were sampled from each university/college. Male college students with temporary heterosexual behaviors during the past year were recruited. Participants' demographics, AIDS-related knowledge, compliance to HIV/AIDS interventions, Internet dating and sexual behaviors were collected, and the characteristics of male college students with Internet dating were analyzed.
Results :
A total of 326 students were enrolled, including 202 participants from regular institutions of higher education (61.96%) and 124 students from higher vocational colleges (38.04%). There were 79 freshmen (24.23%), 99 sophomores (30.37%), 104 juniors (31.90%) and 44 seniors (13.50%), and there were 100 participants (30.67%) with temporary heterosexual behaviors through Internet dating during the past year. Among the 100 participants, there were 75.00% of participants knowing “man who have sex with man is the main transmission pattern of AIDS among young students in China”, 93.00% knowing “insisting on accurate use of condoms may reduce the risk of HIV infections and transmission” and 93.00% knowing “seeking HIV testing and counseling actively following high-risk behaviors”. There were 77 participants (77.00%) with students as their temporary heterosexual partners, 17 participants (17.00%) that had received HIV self-testing and 17 participants (17.00%) that had received HIV testing in medical institutions, 22 participants (22.00%) that had never used condoms during temporary heterosexual behaviors during the past year, and 29 participants (29.00%) with commercial sexual behaviors during the past year. In addition, male college students with temporary heterosexual behaviors through Internet dating were more unlikely to use condoms and more likely to have commercial sexual behaviors than those with dating through other ways (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Male college students with temporary heterosexual behaviors through Internet dating are more likely to have high-risk sexual behaviors than those with dating through other ways. Internet-based mobile sexual education and HIV/AIDS health education are recommended.

Objective:To analyze the willingness of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent HIV transmission and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:Cross sectional survey design was used in this study. After informed consent, MSM aged 18 years or above and having had homosexual anal or oral sex in the past 6 months were recruited through "i WeChat" official account between September and November, 2019.Results:Of 1 517 MSM were surveyed, the proportion of MSM who had ever heard of PEP were 72.5% (1 100/1 517) and 87.9%(1 333/1 517) of the MSM said they would like to use PEP if it is needed.Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that aged above 25 year ( OR=1.807, 95% CI: 1.090-2.995), HIV test history ( OR=1.953, 95% CI: 1.171-3.256) and being aware of PEP ( OR=2.163, 95% CI: 1.468-3.186) were the positive factors for PEP use, but an aware of the HIV status of sexual partner was the negative factor for PEP ( OR=0.602, 95% CI: 0.407-0.890). Among MSM who had ever heard of PEP, the positive factors for PEP use included living in Zhejiang ( OR=1.942, 95% CI: 1.097-3.438), aged above 25 years ( OR=2.431, 95% CI: 1.331-4.439), being aware of PEP ( OR=3.714, 95% CI: 1.532-9.007) obtaining information about PEP service from MSM organization/volunteer/health organization. Conclusions:MSM's willingness to use PEP services was relatively high. Age, awareness of PEP related knowledge, and awareness of sexual partner's HIV infection status were the related factors. MSM organization/volunteer/health organization were the main forces for PEP promotion in MSM.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of anal sex and related factors in low-tier female sex workers (FSWs) in the demonstration areas of comprehensive AIDS responses (DACAR) in Zhejiang province.Method:In 2013, a survey on low-tier FSWs was carried out in 21 Demonstration Areas of AIDS Responses in Zhejiang. Experience of having anal sex with clients in the last month was taken as dependent variable while independent variables would include perception and characteristics related to behavior of the FSWs. The multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors related to anal sex in low-tier FSWs.Results:A total of 2 645 low-tier FSWs were interviewed. Among these FSWs, 67.9% (1 796/2 645) were over 26 years old, 89.9% (2 378/2 645) were with education level of junior high school or below, 58.4% (1 546/2 645) were married, 78.2% (2 068/2 645) were from other provinces, 68.6% (1 814/2 645) had income level less than 4 000 Yuan, and rates of anal sex with client in the last month were 5.03% (133/2 645). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis of related factors of anal sex with client in the last month showed that among the low-tier FSWs, the venues of having commercial sex were in hair salons/massage parlors ( OR=7.31, 95 %CI: 2.27-23.59), roadside shops ( OR=7.89, 95 %CI: 2.27- 27.40) or other places ( OR=4.65, 95 %CI: 1.23-17.53), when compared with the street-women service. FSWs often engaged in commercial sex business in three or more counties ( OR=1.68, 95 %CI: 1.01-2.81), when compared with FSWs often engaged in commercial sex business just one county. FSWs had sex with only middle-aged and the elderly clients ( OR=0.45, 95 %CI: 0.30-0.66), when compared with FSWs had sex with young or middle-aged and the elderly clients. FSWs had risk perception for sexually transmitted disease (STD) ( OR=2.00, 95 %CI: 1.20-3.32), when compared with FSWs with no risk perception. FSWs had oral sex experience with their clients in the last month ( OR=7.29, 95 %CI: 4.78-11.12), when compared with the ones without oral sex. The above said factors were all related to the incidence of anal sex. Conclusions:Certain numbers of low-tier FSWs had anal sex experiences with their clients, especially those who had oral sex were more likely to have anal sex in DACAR in Zhejiang province. Attention should be paid to anal sex behavior when conducting behavior-related intervention programs, targeting on the low-tier FSWs.
