We examined correlates of trading sex for money, drugs, and shelter, or food among drug-using men who have sex with men (MSM).
Audio computer-assisted self-interviewing questionnaires were completed by 387 MSM. The association of predictors with sex trading was assessed with chi(2) tests and multiple logistic regression.
Sex-trading prevalence was 62.5% (95% confidence interval=57.7%, 67.4%). Sex trading was associated with crack use, injection drug use, childhood maltreatment, non-gay self-identification, and homelessness (adjusted odds ratios=3.72, 2.28, 2.62, 2.21, and 1.88, respectively).
Multiple risk factors are associated with sex trading among MSM. Interventions may need to address crack and injection drug use, homelessness, and childhood maltreatment and target non-gay-identified MSM who engage in sex trading.
我们研究了男男性行为者(MSM)中以性交易换取金钱、毒品、住所或食物的相关因素。
387名男男性行为者完成了音频计算机辅助自填式问卷调查。通过卡方检验和多元逻辑回归评估预测因素与性交易之间的关联。
性交易患病率为62.5%(95%置信区间=57.7%,67.4%)。性交易与快克可卡因使用、注射吸毒、童年期受虐待、非同性恋自我认同以及无家可归有关(调整后的优势比分别为3.72、2.28、2.62、2.21和1.88)。
多种风险因素与男男性行为者中的性交易有关。干预措施可能需要解决快克可卡因和注射吸毒问题、无家可归问题以及童年期受虐待问题,并针对进行性交易的非同性恋身份的男男性行为者。
