Serosorting (i.e., choosing partners of the same HIV serostatus to reduce the risk of transmission with unprotected sex) and other forms of seroadaptation (i.e., engaging in diverse behaviors according to a hierarchy of risk by type of sex and partner serostatus) are phenomena widely described for men who have sex with men (MSM) in the developed world. We assessed seroadaptive behaviors among MSM surveyed in Yangon, Myanmar in 2013-2014. Among HIV-negative MSM, 43.1 % engaged in some form seroadaptation including serosorting (21.8 %), using condoms with potentially serodiscordant anal sex (19.3 %), and seropositioning (1.7 %). Among HIV-positive MSM, 3.5 % engaged in serosorting, 36.0 % in using condoms with potentially serodiscordant anal sex, 7.0 % in seropositioning, and 46.5 % in any form of seroadaptation. For HIV-negative and HIV-positive MSM, seroadaptation was more common than consistent condom use (38.0 and 26.7 %, respectively). MSM in Myanmar are engaging in seroadaptive behaviors in magnitude and ways similar to MSM in industrialized countries.
血清型分类(即选择具有相同艾滋病毒血清学状态的性伴侣以降低无保护性行为传播风险)及其他形式的血清适应性行为(即根据性行为类型和性伴侣血清学状态的风险等级采取不同行为)在发达国家是男男性行为者(MSM)中广泛描述的现象。我们评估了2013 - 2014年在缅甸仰光接受调查的男男性行为者中的血清适应性行为。在艾滋病毒阴性的男男性行为者中,43.1%采取了某种形式的血清适应性行为,包括血清型分类(21.8%)、在可能血清学不一致的肛交中使用避孕套(19.3%)以及血清定位(1.7%)。在艾滋病毒阳性的男男性行为者中,3.5%采取血清型分类,36.0%在可能血清学不一致的肛交中使用避孕套,7.0%进行血清定位,46.5%采取任何形式的血清适应性行为。对于艾滋病毒阴性和艾滋病毒阳性的男男性行为者而言,血清适应性行为比始终坚持使用避孕套更为常见(分别为38.0%和26.7%)。缅甸的男男性行为者在血清适应性行为的程度和方式上与工业化国家的男男性行为者相似。
