We describe the HIV risk perception, sexual behavior, and HIV prevalence among 423 men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) clients who received voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services at a community-based center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The mean age was 29 years old.
One hundred one (23.9%) clients rated themselves as low risk, 118 (27.9%) as medium risk, 36 (8.5%) as high risk, and 168 (39.7%) were unsure of their risk.
Twenty-four (9.4%) clients tested HIV positive (4 (4%) low risk, 9 (7.6%) medium risk, 11 (30.6%) high risk, and 13 (7.7%) unsure risk).
We found a positive correlation between risk perception and HIV infection in this study.
Clients with high HIV risk perception have 17x the odds of testing HIV positive compared to low risk clients.
High HIV risk perception was significantly associated with multiple sex partners, multiple types of sex partners, alcohol use before intercourse, unprotected sex beyond 6 months, and inconsistent condom use during anal sex compared to low risk clients.
There were no statistically significant differences between medium risk and unsure risk clients compared to low risk clients.
Strategies should be targeted towards change in sexual practices among those who are perceived to be at high risk.
