This study aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics of Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) recruited online and identify the factorsassociated with meeting homosexual partners at fixed offline locations.
Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the factors that influenced their meeting up with homosexual partners at fixed offline locations.
A total of 604 MSM were included, with 133 participants (22.02%) meeting homosexual partners at fixed offline locations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that participantswho were willing to engage in commercial sex, engage in behaviors such as alcohol consumption, drug use, or aphrodisiac use during homosexual activities, and hadused HIVPre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in the last six months were more likely to meet homosexual partners at fixed offline locations.
The proportion of participants meeting homosexual partners at fixed offline locations was relatively high, emphasizing the need to increase education and awareness among MSM to reduce relatedbehaviors during homosexual activities. Further promotion of the proper use of PrEP and avoidance of commercial sex are essential for lowering the risk of HIV infection among this population.
本研究旨在调查通过网络招募的男男性行为者（MSM）的人口统计学特征，并确定与在固定线下场所结识同性恋伴侣相关的因素。
采用单因素和多因素逻辑回归分析来研究影响他们在固定线下场所与同性恋伴侣见面的因素。
共纳入604名男男性行为者，其中133名参与者（22.02%）在固定线下场所结识同性恋伴侣。多因素逻辑回归分析显示，愿意从事商业性行为、在同性恋活动期间有饮酒、吸毒或使用壮阳药等行为以及在过去六个月内使用过艾滋病毒暴露前预防（PrEP）的参与者更有可能在固定线下场所结识同性恋伴侣。
在固定线下场所结识同性恋伴侣的参与者比例相对较高，这强调了有必要加强对男男性行为者的教育和提高其意识，以减少同性恋活动期间的相关行为。进一步推广正确使用PrEP和避免商业性行为对于降低该人群的艾滋病毒感染风险至关重要。
