OBJECTIVES
The objective of the study was to examine correlates of sexual risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) traveling for leisure.
STUDY DESIGN
MSM (N = 304) visiting popular tourist areas completed a brief survey assessing sexual behavior and substances used while on vacation, including the use of erectile dysfunction medications (e.g., Viagra).
RESULTS
Forty-seven percent of the respondents were sexually active during their vacation, with a mean of 1.33 unprotected anal sex acts during their brief stay (mean = 3.6 days). More than half of the sexually active men reported sex with a partner of unknown HIV status. Individuals reporting substance use or taking erectile dysfunction medications reported higher rates of sexual risk behaviors.
CONCLUSION
Many MSM travelers report behaviors that may put their health at risk, including substance use and unprotected sexual activity. Interventions designed to reduce risk behaviors among MSM tourists are needed.
目的
本研究的目的是调查休闲旅行的男男性行为者（MSM）中性风险行为的相关因素。
研究设计
前往热门旅游地区的304名MSM完成了一项简短调查，评估度假期间的性行为和使用的物质，包括勃起功能障碍药物（如伟哥）的使用情况。
结果
47%的受访者在度假期间有性行为，在短暂停留期间（平均3.6天）平均有1.33次无保护肛交行为。超过一半有性行为的男性报告与HIV感染状况不明的伴侣发生过性行为。报告使用物质或服用勃起功能障碍药物的个体报告的性风险行为发生率更高。
结论
许多MSM旅行者报告了可能危害其健康的行为，包括使用物质和无保护的性活动。需要设计干预措施以减少MSM游客中的风险行为。
