Abstract:

Objective: To investigate and analyze the current situation of AIDS prevention and control among the new high-risk population — male homosexuals under the new situation of normalized prevention and control of COVID-19 in China. Methods: Using anonymous web-based questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, 1 542 male homosexuals were surveyed on their perceptions and behaviors of AIDS prevention and treatment, and to study the prevention and control measures of male homosexuals. Results: Among the participants, 95.40% learned about AIDS through the Internet, 98.05% recognized that sexual transmission was one of the modes of transmission of AIDS, 9.27% have never heard of AIDS blocking drugs, 70.56% did not use condoms when having sex, 50.00% did not do AIDS testing before and after having sex; 13.42% failed to seek medical treatment in time during the 72-hour optimal interruption period after high-risk sex. Conclusion:At present, there are serious hidden dangers and prevention loopholes for AIDS infection in the male homosexuals, and multiple measures are needed for AIDS prevention education and high-risk behavior intervention in this group to innovate comprehensive prevention and treatment mechanisms.
