A Research on HIV/AIDS Related Behavior Characteristics and Their Intervention Effect among HIV Negative MSM

Objective To explore the HIV/AIDS related behavior characteristics and their intervention effect among HIV negative MSM.Methods Sexual behaviors including homosexual anal intercourse and heterosexual behavior,and the condom use were analyzed using the base line data of the program of the MSM intervention cohort study in 2011.Results During the last 3 months,87.32% of 339 MSM had homosexual anal intercourse,in which 52.03% had more than 1 male sex partner;72.57% had anal intercourse with regular male sex partners,in which 40.65% insisted on using condoms;49.26% had casual homosexual anal intercourse,in which the persistence rate of using condoms was 50.90%;76.70% received face to face health education,whose condom use rate(80.16%) and HIV testing rate(69.62%) were both higher than the rates(60.53% and 28%,respectively) of those without intervention(P 0.05 and P 0.01,respectively).Conclusion With a high rate of homosexual anal intercourse,multiple sex partners and low condom use,MSM are at high risk of infecting and diffusing HIV/AIDS and STDs,which requires improving the interventions urgently.
