男男性接触者艾滋病风险感知及安全套使用调查

目的了解男男性接触者艾滋病风险感知及安全套使用情况，为下一步行为干预提供参考依据。方法成立彩虹工作组，到同性恋者活动场所开展外展服务，知情同意原则下，进行艾滋病风险感知及安全套使用情况调查。结果共调查458例。性取向以同性恋和双性恋为主，分别占46．1％和42．6％。艾滋病风险感知认识薄弱，大多数认为“现在或将来自己感染艾滋病的机会不大”。最近1a，26．6％曾经和女性发生性行为；和自己的配偶或固定女友发生性行为，时，多数不用或从来不用安全套的比例较高；与之相反，和不固定非商业性女性或女性性工作者发生性行为时，每次用或多数用安全套的比例较高。与男性初次性交年龄最小13岁，最大42岁，平均（21．4±4．6）岁。最近1a，51．5％与男性伴口交时从不使用安全套，30．1％曾为男士提供商业性服务。不论肛交对象，男男性接触者每次用安全套比例均较低。结论男男性接触者是HIV传播的桥梁人群，开展干预工作有着特殊意义。     

HIV risk among drug-using men who have sex with men, men selling sex, and transgender individuals in Vietnam

Knowledge about drug use and its association with HIV risk among men who have sex with men is limited. Although the HIV epidemic among this population in Vietnam is increasingly acknowledged, understanding the impact of drug use on the spread of HIV is largely lacking. Using qualitative data from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 93 drug users, 15 non-drug users and 9 community stakeholders, this analysis explores emerging patterns of drug use and risk factors for engaging in risk behaviours among drug-using men having sex with men, men selling sex and transgender individuals in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Findings revealed that drug use is shifting from heroin to ecstasy and ice. Drug users reported unsafe sex associated with drug use and men selling sex were particularly at elevated risk because of using drugs as a tool for sex work and trading sex for drugs. These findings are guiding development of programmes addressing unmet HIV-prevention needs in Vietnam.     

应用同伴推动抽样法对深圳地区男男性接触者AIDS相关知识和危险行为调查

目的用同伴推动抽样（RDS）方法了解深圳地区男男性接触者（MSM）的AIDS相关知识和危险行为。方法2007年10—12月在深圳地区应用RDS方法招募MSM为研究对象，利用结构式问卷调查分析其HIV／AIDS知识、HIV风险感知、吸毒及性行为等。结果共招募351例MSM，平均年龄（27±6）岁，汉族占92．3％，未婚占78．1％，大专及以上文化程度占16．5％，非娱乐场所从业人员占61．5％。最近6个月，92．9％MSM和男性有肛交性行为，86．9％有口交性行为；68．5％有多个肛交性伴，每次使用安全套比例仅为57．0％；74．1％有多个口交性伴，每次使用安全套比例仅为13．1％；9．7％曾与男男性工作者发生性行为，其中24．2％不是每次使用安全套；28．5％MSM曾和女性（包括女性性工作者）发生性接触，其中仅36．8％每次使用安全套。13．7％MSM曾吸食过毒品。82．3％MSM艾滋病知识得分在7分以上（应得分为11分），但仅6．0％认为很可能感染HIV。结论深圳地区被调查的MSM的艾滋病风险感知认识程度低，且危险行为发生率较高。应加强MSM人群健康教育和行为干预，促进行为改变，降低艾滋病性病传播危险。     

Public health challenges of the emerging HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men in China

A large-scale national survey was conducted in 2008 across 61 cities throughout China, covering over 18,000 men who have sex with men (MSM). The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was 4.9% and incidence ranged from 2.6 to 5.4 per 100 person-years. The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases ranged from 2.0% to 29.9% among MSM in different parts of China. Syphilis status, recruitment of sexual partners mainly from gay saunas, duration of MSM experience, and unprotected sex with regular male sex partners and multiple male sex partners predicted HIV seroconversion. The prevalence of consistent condom use was low during anal sex, ranging from 29.4% to 37.3%. Within this context, this paper considers the factors surrounding HIV prevention activity, and identifies a number of public health challenges which need to be considered if optimum outcomes are to be achieved. HIV prevention targeting MSM is a delayed response. The high risk associated with gay saunas and the need for steady condom supply at these venues needs urgent consideration. In addition, approximately one-third of MSM in China reported bisexual behavior, which may be attributed to sociocultural reasons and stigma against MSM. Female sex partners of MSM are seldom aware of their exposure to high risk of HIV transmission. Finally, the primitive nature of non-government organizations for HIV prevention and issues around their sustainability pose another serious challenge for the future of HIV prevention campaigns targeting MSM in China.     

Knowledge and risk behaviors related to HIV/AIDS,and their association with information resource among men who have sex with men in Heilongjiang province,China

Backgroud  

In Heilongjiang province, the HIV prevalence in men who have sex with men (MSM) is generally lower than other part of China. However, the official perception for their risk of HIV/AIDS infection has been increasing in the province over the years. Moreover, little information on HIV/AIDS was provided to the communities so that we have disadvantage of controlling HIV/AIDS epidemic in the region. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of HIV among MSM in Heilongjiang province, to assess their knowledge levels and risk behaviors related to HIV/AIDS, and to explore their associations with information resources.     

成都市男男性行为人群对重复HIV检测阴性的反应与危险性行为的关联研究

目的 研究成都市MSM对重复HIV检测阴性的反应及与危险性行为的关联。方法 2022年3-5月与成都同乐健康咨询服务中心合作,采用方便抽样方法招募研究对象610名MSM。收集研究对象社会人口学特征、对HIV检测阴性的反应和性行为情况。采用单因素及多因素logistic回归模型分析HIV检测阴性反应与性行为的关联。结果 参加问卷调查579名（94.9%）,纳入研究对象354名（61.1%）,HIV检测阴性反应得分分别为强化安全（17.03±2.20）分、运气（7.50±1.87）分和低风险感知（8.87±3.62）分。多因素logistic回归模型结果显示,强化安全与发生群交呈负相关（aOR=0.80,95%CI：0.67~0.95）;运气与临时性行为（aOR=1.20,95%CI：1.06~1.35）、不坚持使用安全套（aOR=1.21,95%CI：1.06~1.37）、发生群交（aOR=1.26,95%CI：1.00~1.60）和多性伴（aOR=1.24,95%CI：1.09~1.42）与危险性行为呈正相关。低风险感知仅与多性伴（aOR=1.08,95%CI：1.01~1.15）呈正相关。结论 成都市MSM对重复HIV检测阴性反应的强化安全和运气维度认可程度较高,自身风险感知良好。在提供HIV检测和咨询服务期间,干预策略和风险咨询应重视向对运气认可较高的个体倾斜,帮助其树立安全性行为意识,减少侥幸心理带来的负面影响。

HIV risk behaviors and obstacles to condom use among Puerto Rican men in New York City who have sex with men.

OBJECTIVES: This paper describes the sexual risk behaviors of Puerto Rican men who have sex with men and their perceived obstacles to condom use. METHODS: Interviews were conducted with 182 Puerto Rican men living in New York, NY. RESULTS: Condoms were used inconsistently or not at all by half of the men who had anal sex with other men, by two thirds of the men who had vaginal sex, and by three fifths of those who had anal sex with women. Most of the men had had unprotected oral sex and more than one sexual partner in the previous year. Three of 10 were positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Dislike of condoms was the most frequently cited obstacle, followed by perception of low risk, trust in and emotional connection with partner, unavailability and inconvenience of condom use, lack of control, and indifference. CONCLUSIONS: Barrier methods other than condoms, such as a microbicidal, gel, need to be developed.

Pacar and Tamu: Indonesian women sex workers' relationships with men

There are major differences between female sex workers in Indonesia in terms of income, places of work, ways of contacting clients, reasons for entering sex work and career progression. Yet, STD and HIV/AIDS intervention programmes and the majority of research projects often do not respect these differences. This paper describes relationships between female sex workers and clients and other male partners in Surabaya and Jakarta. Different relationships were associated with different attitudes to self cleansing, risk perception, preventive behaviour and the use of condoms. The concept of multiple identities is useful in understanding how sex workers negotiate their relationships with occasional clients, regular clients and boyfriends. Differences in relationship are moreover reflected in differences in role expectations and behaviours. In particular, perceptions of dirtiness ( kotor ) and non-dirtiness ( tidak kotor ) influence sex workers' behaviour with clients. Intervention programmes should address the complexities of these multiple identities and relationships, and should acknowledge sex workers as human beings involved in more than sexual transactions.     

重庆市男男性行为者网络交友HIV感染情况

HIV risk and perceptions of masculinity among young black men who have sex with men

PurposeYoung black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) are known to have the highest rates of HIV infection in the United States. Although reported rates of unprotected anal intercourse are similar to the rates of men who have sex with men of other racial/ethnic backgrounds, YBMSM aged 15–22 years are five times more likely to be HIV-infected than the comparably aged white men who have sex with men. We explored contextual social-environmental factors that may influence how YBMSM assess risk, choose partners, and make decisions about condom use.MethodsWe analyzed semi-structured interviews with 35 YBMSM (age: 18–24 years) in New York City, Upstate New York, and Atlanta. We used structured analytic coding based on a theoretical scheme that emerged from the data.ResultsPerception of masculinity was the primary contextual factor influencing partner selection, risk assessment, and decision-making with regard to condom usage. Four primary themes emerged: (1) greater preference for partners perceived as masculine; (2) discomfort with allowing men perceived as feminine to be the insertive partner in anal intercourse; (3) a power dynamic such that partners perceived as more masculine made condom-use decisions within the dyad; and (4) use of potential partners' perceived masculinity to assess HIV risk.ConclusionsPerceived masculinity may play a significant role in HIV risk for YBMSM and may be an important concept to consider in prevention strategies directed toward this population.     

Let's talk about sex: helping substance abuse counsellors address HIV prevention with men who have sex with men

Integrating HIV prevention into substance abuse counselling is recommended to ameliorate the health outcomes of men who have sex with men. However, culture-based countertransferences (CBCs) may hamper this effort. Using a case illustration, this paper will explain the manifestation of CBCs held among substance abuse counsellors and how they hinder counsellors' work with men who have sex with men. The following CBCs will be explored: distancing, topic avoidance, heteronormativity, assumptions and denying client strengths. These CBCs allow counsellors to avoid discussions about sexual practices and curtail HIV prevention counselling, while undermining the counsellor-client relationship. Based on the empirical literature on HIV and substance abuse prevention with men who have sex with men, we provide recommendations to help counsellors overcome CBCs and integrate HIV prevention consistently with men who are in treatment for substance abuse.

Sexual risk reduction among HIV-positive drug-using men who have sex with men

According to the US Centers for Disease Control, the majority of new HIV infections are the direct result of unprotected sexual relations between serodiscordant individuals. Thus, the development of behavioral interventions to increase the safer sex practices of HIV-positive individuals has the potential to reduce the number of new infections. Currently, less than 1% of the total US population is infected with HIV. Targeting behavioral interventions to this smaller group of HIV-positive individuals has the potential for making cost-effective reductions in the number of new infections. Despite reports that some HIV-positive individuals continue to engage in high-risk behaviors, interventions designed to prevent secondary transmission of HIV are rare. In this era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), interventions for HIV-positive individuals are more critical than ever to address the unique challenges and issues they face regarding disclosure and partner notification, use of HAART and sexual risk behavior, and HIV-related stigma. Although a growing number of reports document the efficacy of sexual risk reduction interventions for HIV-positive individuals, to date none of these studies have focused on drug-using populations. This article focuses on sexual risk reduction interventions for HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM), the largest group of HIV-positive individuals in the United States. It reviews factors associated with high-risk behaviors and discusses some findings from research with HIV-positive methamphetamine users, including (1) data from a small qualitative study and its implications for the development of new interventions, and (2) baseline data from an ongoing large-scale study of the efficacy of a theory-based sexual risk reduction intervention for HIV-positive methamphetamine-using MSM. The article concludes with a discussion of future research issues, including, for example: Can sexual risks be reduced in the context of active drug use? Are different patterns of drug use, or specific drugs, associated with increased risk behavior? How do gender, race, and culture relate to the efficacy of specific interventions?     

High-risk sexual behavior by HIV-positive men who have sex with men--16 sites, United States, 2000-2002

The majority of persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States are men who have sex with men (MSM). High-risk sexual behavior by HIV-positive MSM exposes sex partners to HIV. The risk for transmitting HIV from an infected partner to an uninfected partner through unprotected insertive anal intercourse (UIAI) is greater than the risk for transmission through receptive anal intercourse or oral sex. Differences in sexual risk behavior might be associated with the perceived HIV serostatus of the partner (i.e., HIV positive, HIV negative, or unknown serostatus), as well as with the sex partner type (i.e., steady or nonsteady). During May 2000-December 2002, HIV-positive MSM were interviewed in a behavioral surveillance survey at surveillance sites in 16 states. This report describes insertive anal intercourse practices reported by these MSM; findings indicated that a large percentage of HIV-positive MSM were sexually abstinent, practiced safer sexual behavior by having protected insertive anal intercourse, or had UIAI with an HIV-positive partner. However, a small percentage of HIV-positive MSM reported UIAI with partners who were HIV negative or whose serostatus was unknown; for this group, more intensive and comprehensive HIV-prevention efforts are needed to eliminate this risk behavior.     

Alcohol use and extramarital sex among men in Cameroon

Background  

The spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa is believed to be driven by unsafe sex, and identification of modifiable risk factors of the latter is needed for comprehensive HIV prevention programming in the region. Some previous studies suggest an association between alcohol abuse and unsafe sexual behaviour, such as multiple concurrent sexual partnerships and inconsistent condom use in sex with non-spousal non-cohabiting partners. However, most of these studies were conducted in developed countries and the few studies in Africa were conducted among well-defined social groups such as men attending beer halls or sexually transmitted infection clinics. We therefore examined the association between alcohol and extramarital sex (a sign of multiple concurrent sexual partnerships) among men in a population-based survey in Cameroon; a low-income country in sub-Saharan Africa with a high rate of alcohol abuse and a generalised HIV epidemic.     

Stigma matters: HIV and HIV risk perception among men who have sex with men in Serbia; a qualitative study

As a social determinant of health, stigma is a major barrier to health care access, illness management and completing the treatment. It is attributed both to HIV as a health condition and to the populations at risk of being infected with it. In Serbia, HIV is associated with men who have sex with men (MSM), with a noticeable stigma towards them. Drawing upon a qualitative cross-sectional study, conducted in three Serbian cities, we explore the MSM’s perception of HIV in the context of that social stigma. Using a respondent-driven sampling approach, 62 targeted MSM respondents participated in focus groups discussions and in-depth interviews. We found that the participants’ understandings of the HIV infection, risks and prevention are shaped by stigma. Those MSM who resisted stigma relativised the HIV risk, associating it with the general population and HIV-positive MSMs, believing that HIV, perceived as a chronical illness, was unjustly related to MSM. As one of the main preventive measures, serosorting was based on alleged HIV-positive statuses of potential sexual partners. HIV-negative participants described perceiving HIV-positive MSM as the ones responsible for spreading the virus, since they were concealing their positive status. As a response to stigma, MSM tended to challenge the HIV discourse, shifting it away from MSM onto the general (male) population and HIV positive MSM. Our analysis suggests that stigma resistance may make MSM more susceptible to taking risks. HIV prevention programmes should take the social context of MSM into account and target MSM-related stigma.
