This paper presents data from the Love and Sex in the Time of COVID survey, an online survey with US gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. The first round of the Love and Sex in the Time of COVID-19 survey was conducted online from April to May, 2020: the second round was collected November 2020 to January 2021. GBMSM were recruited through advertisements featured on social networking platforms. Analysis examines changes in self-reported measures of sexual behavior (number of sex partners, number of anal sex partners and number of anal sex partners not protected by pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or condoms) between those with complete data for round one and round two of the surveys (n = 280). While in round one, men reported a moderate willingness to have sex during COVID-19 (3.5 on a scale from 1 to 5), this had reduced significantly to 2.1 by round two. Men reported declines in the number of unprotected anal sex partners since pre-COVID. Perceptions of a longer time until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with increases in the number of sex partners and UAI partners. The results illustrate some significant declines in sexual behavior among GBMSM as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed. As vaccine programs continue to roll out across the U.S, as lockdowns ease and as we return to some normalcy, it will be important to continue to think critically about ways to re-engage men in HIV prevention.
本文提供了来自“新冠疫情时期的爱与性”调查的数据,这是一项针对美国男同性恋、双性恋和其他与男性发生性关系的男性的在线调查。“新冠疫情时期的爱与性”调查的第一轮于 2020 年 4 月至 5 月在网上进行:第二轮于 2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 1 月收集。GBMSM 通过社交网络平台上的广告招募。分析考察了在第一轮和第二轮调查中具有完整数据的人群中,自我报告的性行为(性伴侣数量、肛交伴侣数量和未使用暴露前预防(PrEP)或避孕套保护的肛交伴侣数量)的变化(n=280)。虽然在第一轮中,男性报告在 COVID-19 期间有中度的性意愿(1 到 5 分制中得 3.5 分),但到第二轮时,这一意愿显著下降到 2.1 分。自 COVID 前以来,男性报告的无保护肛交伴侣数量有所减少。对 COVID-19 大流行结束时间的预期延长与性伴侣和 UAI 伴侣数量的增加有关。研究结果表明,随着 COVID-19 大流行的进展,GBMSM 的性行为出现了一些显著下降。随着美国各地疫苗接种计划的继续推进,随着封锁的放松和我们恢复一些正常状态,继续批判性地思考如何重新吸引男性参与 HIV 预防将是很重要的。
