摘要
Over half (58.4%) of 77 recently diagnosed Chinese HIV infected men having sex with men (MSM) had networked sex partners through Internet in the year prior to their infections. Internet using MSM were younger (29.6y vs 38.7y; t = -4.77, P < 0.01), better educated, more likely to have a regular sex partner, and have undergone regular HIV testing (Chi square = 5.57, P < 0.05). These characteristics could be used for planning public health interventions. (C) 2011 The Royal Society for Public Health. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
