Trends of HIV, hepatitis C virus and syphilis seroprevalence among injection and non-injection drug users in southwestern China, 2010–2017
Background The primary risk of HIV transmission in China has shifted from injecting drug use (IDU) to sexual contact since 2006. We evaluated the prevalence trends of HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), syphilis, and sexual and drug use behaviors among drug users. Methods: People who use drugs participated in any of four rounds of cross-sectional surveys during 2010–2017 in Chongqing. Participants were tested for HIV, HCV, and syphilis. Questionnaire i…
Perceptions toward antiretroviral therapy and delayed ART initiation among people living with HIV in Changsha, China
Introduction: Delayed antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is associated with poor HIV outcomes and a higher likelihood of HIV transmission. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the proportion of delayed ART initiation which was defined as initiating ART after 30 days of HIV diagnosis, and evaluated the pathways influencing ART initiation among adult PLWH in Changsha, China who were diagnosed between 2014 and 2022. Results: Of 518 part…
Acceptability of male circumcision for HIV prevention among men who have sex with men in China
Recent evidence shows that circumcision is associated with lower HIV prevalence among MSM. We assessed the acceptability of circumcision for preventing HIV and that of Shang Ring circumcision (SRC) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. 538 adult MSM were recruited from six cities in China between January and March 2019. Participants were surveyed by an online, self-administered questionnaire. The acceptability of circumcision was assess…
The Impact of Providing Free HIV Self-testing on Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Men who have Sex with Men in Hunan, China
Predicting the long-term impact of voluntary medical male circumcision on HIV incidence among men who have sex with men in Beijing, China
Using a deterministic compartmental modeling procedure to fit prevalence from 2005–2015, we projected new HIV cases during 2016–2026 under different coverage rates ranging from 0.0001 (at baseline) to 0.15 (an optimistic assumption) with simulations on varying transmission rates, model calibration to match historical data, and sensitivity analyses for different assumptions. Compared with the baseline (λ = 0.0001), we found the new HIV cases would…
Association between stigma towards HIV and MSM and intimate partner violence among newly HIV-diagnosed Chinese men who have sex with men
HIV- and MSM-related stigmas was positively associated with IPV experiences among newly diagnosed MSM in China. The manner in which stigma may exacerbate IPV, and/or the influence of IPV on worsening stigma should be further evaluated. The high prevalence of IPV and stigma in this population suggests that interventions should be taken to reduce stigma and prevent this risky behavior among MSM
Negative associations between general self-efficacy and anxiety/depression among newly HIV-diagnosed men who have sex with men in Beijing, China
To evaluate the association between general self-efficacy and depression/anxiety among newly HIV-diagnosed Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) in Beijing, our study evaluated the baseline survey data of MSM taking part in a clinical trial among Chinese MSM in Beijing. The baseline survey of the trial was conducted between March 2013 and March 2014. General self-efficacy and depression/anxiety were measured using standard scales. Logistic regr…
HIV testing and sexual risks among migrant men who have sex with men
Despite the exacerbating HIV transmission among migrant men who have sex with men (MSM) in China, few epidemiological studies explore their HIV testing/risk profiles. We sought to explore sociodemographic/behavioral correlates of HIV/syphilis and HIV testing among migrant MSM. A study was conducted among 3,588 HIV-uninfected MSM. Participants were recruited via short message services, peer referral, web-advertisement and community outreach. HIV/s…

Substance use and HIV-risk behaviors among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in China
Global literature revealed that seropositive men who have sex with men (MSM) posed an even higher risk compared to their seronegative counterparts. Identifying risk factors that contribute to HIV-risk behaviors will help to curb the rapid HIV transmission among this group. Our hypothesis was that MSM with substance use were more likely to conduct HIV-risk behaviors, even after accounting for repeated measures. In the current study, we employed a …

Seeking Male Sexual Partners via Internet and Traditional Venues among Chinese Men Who Have Sex with Men
HIV vulnerabilities and coercive sex at same-sex sexual debut among men who have sex with men in Beijing, China
Few studies have examined coercive sex and HIV vulnerabilities among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. The present study seeks to compare individual characteristics between MSM who did and did not experience coercive sex at their MSM sexual debut and to identify HIV risk factors correlated with coercive sex at MSM sexual debut. In 2007, we recruited 167 MSM in Beijing, China by peer-referred social network sampling. Each participant then …
Active cocaine use is associated with lack of HIV-1 virologic suppression independent of nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy
Clarifying the relationship between illicit drug use and HIV-1 virologic suppression requires characterization of both illicit drug use activity and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). We developed a rapid clinical questionnaire to assess prior 7-day illicit drug use and ART adherence in a cross-sectional study among 1777 HIV-infected persons in care. Of these, 76% were male, 35% were African-American, and 8% reported injection drug use as…
Inconsistent Condom Use and History of Trauma Among Vietnamese Female Sex Workers in a Chinese Border Region
Sexual mixing patterns among social networks of HIV-positive and HIV-negative Beijing men who have sex with men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are of immediate concern in China's HIV epidemic. In 2008, approximately 2.5-6.5% of China's eight million MSM were HIV positive, while MSM represented 11% of all new HIV cases. Two factors that will in-part determine HIV-transmission dynamics among MSM, are sexual mixing patterns and the social networks which shape them. Sexual mixing patterns and social networks of Chinese MSM, however, remain poorly understood w…
P1-497 Support and administration of the multi-site global health initiative program of combating non-communicable chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in developing Countries
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) teamed with United Health Group's Chronic Disease Initiative (CDI) to reduce the burden of noncommunicable cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (CVPD) by building research and training capacities at 11 emerging Centers of Excellence (COEs) in Argentina, Bangladesh, China, Guatemala, India (Bangalore), India (New Delhi), Kenya, Peru, South Africa, Tunisia and the USA Mexico Border. To support d…
Association of misconceptions about HIV transmission and discriminatory attitudes in rural China
This study examined HIV-related knowledge and attitudes among 524 randomly selected adult residents from 12 rural Chinese communities where HIV infection among plasma donors has been reported. Most participants were familiar with the main routes of HIV transmission but had substantial misconceptions about risk of HIV transmission through casual social contacts. Higher score of misconception and being older and married independently predicted stro…
Increasing Aids case reports in the South
This study compares the trends in AIDS case reports in Southern states and in other regions and estimates the factors associated with the trends. Data from the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Reports 1999 and 2004 of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used to calculate the proportion of the total cumulative cases (1981-2004) that occurred in the five most recent years (2000-2004). A linear regression model was fitted to estimate the factor…
