Article Synopsis
- HIV prevalence is rising among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly among those seeking partners online, with Internet-based MSM significantly increasing from 43.3% to 61.5% between 2009 and 2014.
- The study showed that HIV rates for Internet-based MSM (IBM) rose from 5.7% to 20.7%, compared to 7.0% to 14.7% for non-Internet-based MSM (NIBM), indicating IBM faces higher infection rates.
- Risk factors contributing to higher HIV prevalence in IBM included being a migrant MSM and infrequently using condoms during casual encounters, suggesting a need for tailored interventions for this demographic.
