The study examined marriage status among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Changzhou and how it affects high-risk behaviors related to AIDS and HIV infection.
A total of 655 MSM participated, with 37.4% being married; married MSM primarily sought partners in public spaces, whereas unmarried MSM used bars or the internet.
Results showed married MSM had lower rates of anal sex with men and higher rates of sex with women compared to unmarried MSM, and they also reported less condom use during sex with women, indicating distinct behavioral patterns between the two groups.
