To understand the cognition and attitudes of men who have sex with men (MSM) towards HIV testing and explore in-depth reasons preventing them from testing. The function of "opinion" in Blued, a gay geo-social networking application (GSN), was adopted to collect qualitative data of ideas and attitudes towards HIV testing of the users between December 2017 and January 2018. The data was analyzed based on grounded theory approach. 28 269 Blued users participated in the activity and 1 977 posted comments. Four key themes were identified, i.e. no/low risk of contracting HIV, stigmatization of HIV testing, long-term relationship and conventional impediments of HIV testing. The cognition and attitudes of the target population derived from the analysis of "opinion" function in Blued, such as the stigmatization of the behavior of HIV testing influencing the attitude of HIV testing, could help researchers build a more accurate detection and promotion strategy instead of a very general intervention on the public.
了解男男性行为者（MSM）对HIV检测的认知和态度，并深入探究阻碍他们进行检测的原因。采用同性恋地理社交网络应用程序（GSN）Blued中的“意见”功能，收集2017年12月至2018年1月期间用户对HIV检测的想法和态度的定性数据。基于扎根理论方法对数据进行分析。28269名Blued用户参与了该活动，1977人发表了评论。确定了四个关键主题，即感染HIV的风险低/无风险、HIV检测的污名化、长期关系以及HIV检测的传统障碍。通过对Blued中“意见”功能的分析得出的目标人群的认知和态度，如HIV检测行为的污名化影响HIV检测态度等，有助于研究人员制定更准确的检测和推广策略，而不是对公众进行非常笼统的干预。
