This study investigated the prevalence of male homosexual behaviour among adult men and of HIV and AIDS among men who have sex with men (MSM) and non-MSM in Japan.
An anonymous self-administered postal questionnaire, and national HIV and AIDS notifications.
Same-sex sexual experience was reported by 2.0% of respondents. The prevalence of HIV and AIDS was 0.8818% among MSM and 0.0130% among non-MSM, indicating that HIV and AIDS are 68 times more prevalent among MSM.
Our findings underestimate homosexual and HIV prevalence due to several methodological limitations. The high prevalence of HIV and AIDS among MSM in comparison with non-MSM indicates the urgent need to prioritise funding and programs targeting MSM in Japan.
本研究调查了日本成年男性中男性同性恋行为的流行情况，以及男男性行为者（MSM）和非男男性行为者中艾滋病毒和艾滋病的流行情况。
采用匿名自填式邮政问卷以及全国艾滋病毒和艾滋病通报数据。
2.0%的受访者报告有同性性经历。男男性行为者中艾滋病毒和艾滋病的患病率为0.8818%，非男男性行为者中为0.0130%，这表明男男性行为者中艾滋病毒和艾滋病的患病率是非男男性行为者的68倍。
由于一些方法学上的局限性，我们的研究结果低估了同性恋和艾滋病毒的流行率。与非男男性行为者相比，男男性行为者中艾滋病毒和艾滋病的高流行率表明，在日本迫切需要优先为针对男男性行为者的资金和项目提供支持。
