Objective: To understand HIV self-testing and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shijiazhuang. Methods: From August to September 2020, convenient sampling was used to recruit MSM in Shijiazhuang. Online questionnaires were used to collect information about their demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors and HIV self-testing. logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors associated with HIV self-testing. Results: In the 304 MSM respondents, 52.3% (159/304) had HIV self-testing in the past 6 months, and 95.0% (151/159) used fingertip blood HIV detection reagent. Self-purchase was the main way to obtain HIV testing reagents (45.9%, 73/159), followed by supply from MSM social organization (44.7%, 71/159). The reasons for having HIV self-testing were non-specific testing time (67.9%, 108/159) and privacy protection (62.9%,100/159), the reasons for having no HIV self-testing included inability of using (32.4%, 47/145), being unaware of HIV self-testing reagent (24.1%, 35/145), and worry about inaccurate self-testing results (19.3%, 28/145). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being 18-29 years old (aOR=2.68, 95%CI: 1.20-5.94), obtaining free HIV self-testing kits in recent 6 months (aOR=8.61, 95%CI: 4.09-18.11) and making friends through Internet and social software (aOR=2.68, 95%CI: 1.48-4.88) were positive factors for having HIV self-testing. Conclusion: HIV self-testing is a more flexible and convenient way to detect HIV in MSM, and the promotion of HIV self-testing in MSM should be strengthened to further increase the HIV detection rate in this population.
目的: 分析石家庄市MSM HIV自我检测(自检)及相关因素。 方法: 2020年8-9月,在石家庄市采用方便抽样招募MSM,利用线上调查问卷,收集其社会人口学、行为学和HIV自检等信息,采用logistic回归分析HIV自检相关因素。 结果: 共调查MSM 304人,最近6个月HIV自检率为52.3%(159/304),其中95.0%(151/159)使用指尖血HIV检测试剂;获得HIV检测试剂的途径,以自己购买(45.9%,73/159)和通过MSM社会组织领取(44.7%,71/159)为主;选择HIV自检原因为检测时间不受限制(67.9%,108/159)和保护隐私(62.9%,100/159),不选择原因为自己不会操作(32.4%,47/145)、不知道有HIV自检试剂(24.1%,35/145)和担心自检结果不准确(19.3%,28/145)。多因素logistic回归分析结果显示,18~29岁(aOR=2.68,95%CI:1.20~5.94)、最近6个月在当地领取过HIV自检包(aOR=8.61,95%CI:4.09~18.11)和主要交友途径通过互联网/社交软件(aOR=2.68,95%CI:1.48~4.88)的MSM更倾向于选择HIV自检。 结论: HIV自检为MSM提供了一种更灵活、方便的检测途径,应加强HIV自检的推广,进一步提高MSM的HIV检测率。.
