“…This prominent transmission mode observed in our study supports the current transmission trend. 3 Also, 43.8% of the participants were gay and 43.4% of the participants were men who have sex with men, coinciding with the findings that men who have sex with men accounted for 32.5% of all new HIV cases. 32 The average age of our participants was 37 years, close to the national level of PLWHA (38 years).…”

BackgroundA previous time-location sampling survey (TLS) was performed in 2008 to evaluate the HIV or syphilis infection rate among male sex workers (MSWs) and non-commercial men who have sex with men (ncMSM) in Shenzhen, China. This is a second TLS performed in 2014. This article describes the findings and changes in the prevalence of HIV and syphilis.MethodsTLS was used to collect information as a second cross-sectional survey to an earlier TLS assessment. Data on behavior (e.g., sexual history and sexual behavior) were analyzed. Blood specimens were drawn for HIV and syphilis testing. To determine the changes in the prevalence of HIV and syphilis, we analyzed these results and compared them to the results of our first survey.ResultsA total of 965 participants were recruited, including 489 MSWs and 476 ncMSM. Overall, the prevalence of HIV was 9.7%: 2.9% for MSWs and 16.8% for ncMSM (P<0.001). 10.9% of the 965 participants tested positive for syphilis: 4.5% among MSWs and 17.4% among ncMSM (P<0.001). The HIV prevalence in MSWs decreased from 4.5% in 2008 to 2.9% in 2014 (P = 0.143) but increased in ncMSM (7.0% in 2008 vs 16.8% in 2014, P<0.001). Decreased syphilis rates were observed in both MSWs (12.9% in 2008 vs 4.5% in 2014, P<0.001) and ncMSM (20.2% in 2008 vs 17.4% in 2014, P = 0.221).ConclusionsOverall, there was a decline in the prevalence of HIV and syphilis in MSWs but not in ncMSM. The study indicated the need for continued efforts to improve public health, particularly to counter the rising rate of HIV in ncMSM.
