Geosocial networking applications (GSN apps) have become increasingly popular among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Our study sought to understand whether inclusion of individuals met via GSN apps in participants' social networks was associated with increased HIV risk behaviors among a probability sample of GSN app using MSM (N = 295) recruited in Los Angeles, California. Approximately 20 % of participants included a GSN app-met individual as one of their top five closest social network members. Those with a GSN app-met network member had more recent (past 30-day) sexual partners (B = 1.21, p < 0.05), were nearly twice as likely to have engaged in unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with their last sexual partner (AOR = 2.02, p < 0.05), and were nearly four times as likely to have engaged in UAI with their last GSN app-met sexual partner (AOR = 3.98, p < 0.001). Network-based interventions delivered via GSN apps may be useful in preventing the spread of HIV among MSM.
地理社交网络应用程序（GSN应用）在男同性恋者、双性恋者和其他与男性发生性行为的男性（MSM）中越来越受欢迎。我们的研究旨在了解，在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶招募的使用GSN应用的MSM概率样本（N = 295）中，将通过GSN应用认识的人纳入参与者的社交网络是否与HIV风险行为增加有关。约20%的参与者将通过GSN应用认识的人列为其最亲密的五个社交网络成员之一。有通过GSN应用认识的网络成员的人有更多近期（过去30天内）的性伴侣（B = 1.21，p < 0.05），与最后一个性伴侣进行无保护肛交（UAI）的可能性几乎是其两倍（AOR = 2.02，p < 0.05），与最后一个通过GSN应用认识的性伴侣进行UAI的可能性几乎是其四倍（AOR = 3.98，p < 0.001）。通过GSN应用进行基于网络的干预可能有助于预防HIV在MSM中的传播。
