Abstract EN
Objective.
This study was to characterize the continuously changing trends of HIV prevalence, risks, sexual behaviors, and testing behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chongqing, China.
Methods.
Five consecutive cross-sectional surveys were conducted among MSM in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013.
Testing for HIV and syphilis was performed, and HIV risks, sexual behavior, prevention, and HIV testing behavior were collected using the same questionnaire.
Results.
HIV prevalence increased from 13.0% to 19.7% from 2006 to 2013 (P=0.004), with an increase of 1.0% per year.
Syphilis prevalence peaked in 2008 with a positive rate of 11.6% and then experienced a sharp drop to 2.8% in 2012 and 2.9% in 2013.
Percentage of those who ever received HIV testing in the last year increased from 17.0% to 43.3% (P<0.001); condom use at the last anal intercourse and reported consistent condom use in the last 6 months increased from 51.8% to 71.0% (P<0.001) and from 24.7% to 47.9% (P<0.001), respectively.
Conclusions.
HIV continued to spread among MSM in Chongqing even when a decline in prevalence of syphilis and increase in awareness rate, condom use, and HIV testing seeking behaviors seemed to occur.
