Prevalence and correlates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men: A multi-provincial cross-sectional study in the southwest of China

HIV/AIDS - Research and Palliative Care Oct 11, 2018

Ye M, et al. - Researchers investigated the prevalence and correlates of HIV Infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) in two major provinces in southwest of China. On performing HIV blood test on 1,245 MSM >18 years of age, they noted an extremely high HIV prevalence in Chongqing and Sichuan Province. Significant independent predictors of HIV infection among MSM included lower level of education, preference to be receptive, lower frequency of condom use, drug usage, higher number of sexual partners in the past 1 month, and people suffering from sexually transmitted diseases. People at high risk of HIV infection should receive different interventions based on risk levels of HIV infection in order to achieve maximum prevention and treatment benefit. As resources are relatively short, efforts to prevent HIV might be more effectively employed if stratification of men based on validated risk criteria is performed.
