摘要
This article summarizes published findings from Project LINKS. A total of 500 men who have sex with men were recruited through Respondent Driven Sampling into this study on factors associated with HIV infection. Among participants, 24.5 % identified as gay, 36.2 % as bisexual, 21.9 % as heterosexual, and 17.4 % as "other"; 33 % reported having sex with men, women, and transgender women during the prior two months. Prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B, and syphilis was 17.3 %, 22.9 %, and 20.5 %, respectively; rates were significantly higher among participants who only had male sex partners. Over two-thirds of participants reported unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse during the prior two months, and 52 %had never been tested for HIV. Twenty-five percent reported heavy drinking, and 34 % reported poly-drug use during the past two months. Eighteen percent of participants reported a sexual experience prior to the age of thirteen with a partner who was at least four years older. Acceptability of microbicides and HIV home testing was high.
