Abstract:

Objective To investigate the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) population in Beijing and related high risk factors, and provide scientific evidence for disease prevention.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Beijing. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic information and potential correlated factors, and blood specimens were collected and tested for serologic markers of HBV, HIV and syphilis infections. Questionnaire-based data and serological testing results were recorded with EpiData 3.0 software. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 13.0.Results The prevalence of HIV and HBsAg were 11.6% and 9.0%, respectively. There are 26.5% had serologic markers of HBV infection. In multivariate analyses, two variables were independently associated with HBV infection: not having fixed male sex partners in the past 12 months, reported a diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Multivariate analysis using forward stepwise Logistic regression confirmed that age, native place, not having fixed male sex partners in the past 12 months, unprotected anal intercourse in the past 12 months, syphilis rapid plasma regain (RPR) results were independent predictors of HIV infection. Conclusion High prevalence of HIV and HBV infection were observed among MSM. Comprehensive preventive measures for HIV and HBV and targeted health education campaigns should be developed among MSM population. The prevention and control of HIV and syphilis should be carried out simultaneously.
