The American Men's Internet Survey (AMIS) is an annual Web-based behavioral survey of men who have sex with men (MSM) living in the United States. This Rapid Surveillance Report describes the fourth cycle of data collection (September 2016 through February 2017; AMIS 2016). The key indicators are the same as previously reported for AMIS (December 2013 through May 2014, AMIS 2013; November 2014 through April 2015, AMIS 2014; and September 2015 through April 2016, AMIS 2015). The AMIS survey methodology has not substantively changed since AMIS 2015. MSM were recruited from a variety of websites using banner advertisements and email blasts. Additionally, participants from AMIS 2015 who agreed to be recontacted for future research were emailed a link to the AMIS 2016 survey. Men were eligible to participate if they were ≥15 years old, resided in the United States, provided a valid US zone improvement plan code, and reported ever having sex with a man or identified as gay or bisexual. We examined demographic and recruitment characteristics using multivariable regression modeling (P<.05) stratified by participants' self-reported HIV status. The AMIS 2016 round of data collection resulted in 10,166 completed surveys from MSM representing every US state, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. Participants were mainly non-Hispanic white, over the age of 40 years, living in the Southern United States and urban areas, and recruited from general social networking websites. Self-reported HIV prevalence was 10.80% (1098/10,166). Compared to HIV-negative/unknown-status participants, HIV-positive participants were more likely to have had anal sex without a condom with a male partner in the past 12 months (75.77% vs 65.88%, P<.001) and more likely to have had anal sex without a condom with a serodiscordant or unknown-status partner (33.24% vs 16.06%, P<.001). The reported use of marijuana, methamphetamines, and other illicit substances in the past 12 months was higher among HIV-positive participants than among HIV-negative/unknown-status participants (28.05% vs 24.99%, 11.48% vs 2.16%, and 27.60% vs 18.22%, respectively; all P<.001). Most HIV-negative/unknown-status participants (79.93%, 7248/9068) reported ever having a previous HIV test, and 56.45% (5119/9068) reported undergoing HIV testing in the past 12 months. HIV-positive participants were more likely to report testing and diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections than HIV-negative/unknown-status participants (70.86% vs 40.13% and 24.04% vs 8.97%, respectively; both P<.001).
美国男性互联网调查(AMIS)是一项针对居住在美国的男男性行为者(MSM)的年度网络行为调查。本快速监测报告描述了第四个数据收集周期(2016年9月至2017年2月;AMIS 2016)。关键指标与之前报告的AMIS(2013年12月至2014年5月,AMIS 2013;2014年11月至2015年4月,AMIS 2014;以及2015年9月至2016年4月,AMIS 2015)相同。自AMIS 2015以来,AMIS调查方法没有实质性变化。通过横幅广告和电子邮件群发从各种网站招募男男性行为者。此外,同意在未来研究中再次被联系参与的AMIS 2015参与者收到了AMIS 2016调查的链接。如果男性年龄≥15岁、居住在美国、提供有效的美国区域改进计划代码,并报告曾与男性发生过性行为或认定为同性恋或双性恋,则有资格参与。我们使用多变量回归模型(P<0.05)按参与者自我报告的艾滋病毒感染状况分层,检查了人口统计学和招募特征。AMIS 2016数据收集轮次共收到来自代表美国每个州、波多黎各、关岛和美属维尔京群岛的男男性行为者的10166份完整调查问卷。参与者主要是非西班牙裔白人,年龄在40岁以上,居住在美国南部和城市地区,从一般社交网站招募。自我报告的艾滋病毒感染率为10.80%(1098/10166)。与艾滋病毒阴性/感染状况不明的参与者相比,艾滋病毒阳性参与者在过去12个月中更有可能与男性伴侣无保护肛交(75.77%对65.88%,P<0.001),并且更有可能与血清学不一致或感染状况不明的伴侣无保护肛交(33.24%对16.06%,P<0.001)。在过去12个月中,艾滋病毒阳性参与者报告使用大麻、甲基苯丙胺和其他非法物质的比例高于艾滋病毒阴性/感染状况不明的参与者(分别为28.05%对24.99%、11.48%对2.16%和27.60%对18.22%;均P<0.001)。大多数艾滋病毒阴性/感染状况不明的参与者(79.93%,7248/9068)报告曾进行过艾滋病毒检测,56.45%(5119/9068)报告在过去12个月中接受过艾滋病毒检测。与艾滋病毒阴性/感染状况不明的参与者相比,艾滋病毒阳性参与者报告性传播感染检测和诊断的可能性更高(分别为70.86%对40.13%和24.04%对8.97%;均P<0.001)。
