[Progress of research on the susceptibility of HIV infection among heterosexual partners of men who have sex with men].

Affected by internal and external factors, more than 70.0 of men who have sex with men (MSM) have the intention to get married, and more than 90.0 of MSM view marriage as inevitable. Due to the marriage, there merges a group of women who are heterosexual partners of MSM and also known as'tongqi' (TQ). Because MSM is a high-risk group infected with HIV, together with the existence of other predisposing factors, the TQ population is also under increased risk of HIV infection. This article summarizes the definition, population scale, physical health problems, and risk factors of HIV infection among TQ with the purpose of providing evidence for the implementation on the follow-up prevention and control programs of sexually transmitted diseases for the TQ population.
