The aim of this study was to establish 'proof of concept' for a novel approach to HIV and STI testing at a sex on premises venue (SOPV) for gay and bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) during late night group sex theme parties. A mixed-methods approach was used, and the study aimed to: (1) Build upon existing SOPV funded service delivery and establish 'proof of concept' for this unique setting within an SOPV; (2) evaluate the uptake and feasibility/acceptability of routine HIV/STI testing for GBMSM during theme parties in SOPV; and (3) identify beliefs/perceptions regarding this health promotion activity and venue suitability. The characteristics of patrons utilising PoCT (Point of Care Testing) were established to help further reach potentially stigmatised, highly sexually adventurous GBMSM. The findings support further PoCT endeavours within MSM communities to target harder to reach communities to reduce the rate of new transmissions of HIV. Findings can inform future health promotion, screening and interventions, as well as to identify a successful method to engage harder to reach GBMSM that need further focused targeting for HIV and STI testing to reduce transmission.
本研究的目的是在性交易场所(SOPV)为男同性恋、双性恋和其他与男性发生性关系的男性(GBMSM)举办的深夜集体性派对上,为艾滋病毒和性传播感染(STI)检测建立一种新方法的“概念验证”。本研究采用混合方法,旨在:(1)在现有的 SOPV 资助服务提供的基础上,在 SOPV 中为这种独特的环境建立“概念验证”;(2)评估在 SOPV 的主题派对上,对 GBMSM 进行常规 HIV/STI 检测的接受程度和可行性/可接受性;(3)确定对这种健康促进活动和场所适用性的信念/看法。确定了使用即时检测(Point of Care Testing)的顾客的特征,以帮助进一步接触可能被污名化、高度性行为冒险的 GBMSM。研究结果支持在男同性恋社区进一步开展即时检测工作,以针对更难接触到的社区,降低艾滋病毒新传播的比率。研究结果可以为未来的健康促进、筛查和干预提供信息,以及确定一种成功的方法,以接触到更难接触到的需要进一步针对艾滋病毒和性传播感染进行检测以降低传播率的 GBMSM。
