ABSTRACT

Objective:

To determine the association between recreational drug usage, high risk sexual behavior, and HIV infection among men who have sex with men(MSM) in Jinhua.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit MSM for anonymous questionnaire survey and serological examination. We used EpiData3.1 for data entry and SPSS 19.0 for statistical analysis.

Results:

A total of 368 MSM were surveyed, in which the proportion of recreational drug usage was 13.3% ( 49 / 368 ), with the HIV infection of 10.3% (38/ 368 ) and syphilis infection of 8.9% (25/368). Risk factors associated with recreational drug usage were determined to be part-time job or being unemployed (OR=5.26; 95%CI: 2.10-13.18; P<0.001), average monthly income ≥CNY 5 000 (OR=6.45; 95%CI: 2.87-14.61; P<0.001), education level of high school or above (OR=1.56; 95%CI: 1.37-3.57; P=0.037), sexual orientation being homosexual(OR=3.52; 95%CI: 1.60-7.33; P=0.002), number of sexual partners >1 (OR=4.37; 95%CI: 1.76-10.82; P=0.001), engaged in group sex (OR=7.90; 95%CI: 2.11-29.55; P=0.002) and previously diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases (OR=4.76; 95%CI: 1.29-17.65;P=0.019).

Conclusion:
