我们对从Craigslist.org的纽约市男性招聘部分招募的SO男性进行了面对面的半结构化采访。参与者讨论了他们最喜欢的与性伴侣见面的场所(n=28指的是互联网),我们重点关注了这些男性对有关使用避孕套和在线伴侣披露艾滋病毒状况的调查的反应。大多数人表示,他们为自己设定了总是使用避孕套的先天规则,他们认为互联网是他们最喜欢的场所,部分原因是它帮助他们挑选志同道合的伴侣。与会者表示,就避孕套使用和艾滋病毒问题进行面对面对话往往很困难,互联网是促进这一过程的便利媒介。在HIV阳性和HIV阴性的男性在血清状态披露方面观察到了显著的差异-HIV阴性的男性在开始对话时没有那么微妙。最后,参与者描述了一种关于对网络伴侣的不信任的普遍说法,这也是他们一直使用避孕套的原因之一。这些数据表明,允许男性轻松指示和过滤避孕套使用偏好的功能应该内置(或维护)基于个人资料的性交网站和性公告栏网站。
We conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews with SO men recruited from the New York City men-seeking-men section of Craigslist.org. Participants discussed their favorite venues for meeting sex partners (n = 28 said the Internet), and we focused on these men's responses to probes regarding decisions around condom use and HIV status disclosure with online partners. A majority indicated they set a priori rules for themselves to always use condoms, and they cited the Internet as their favorite venue in part because it helped them sort for like-minded partners. Participants indicated that having in-person conversations around condom use and HIV was often difficult, and that the Internet was a convenient medium to facilitate the process. Notable differences were observed in how HIV-positive and HIV-negative men navigated serostatus disclosure-HIV-negative men were less subtle in starting the conversation. Finally, participants described a common narrative around distrust with online partners, which is one reason why they consistently use condoms. These data suggest that features which allow men to easily indicate, and filter for, condom use preferences should be built into (or maintained on) profile-based sexual networking sites and sexual bulletin board sites.
