这项研究的目的是调查有多少男青年通过互联网结识了他们的第一个性伴侣,以及这一数字是否随着时间的推移而增加。2003年,在英国网站上接受调查的2505名男男性接触者完成了一份自填式问卷。对810名MSM的数据进行了分析,他们在调查时年龄在30岁以下,并在1993-2002年间首次与另一名男性发生性关系。在此期间,通过互联网结识第一个男性性伴侣的男男性接触者比例显著增加(2.6-61.0%)。通过小广告或电话聊天在同性恋场所(34.216.9%)、学校(23.7-1.3%)、公共性环境(10.5-1.3%)遇到第一性伴的比例相应下降。越来越多的年轻MSM似乎通过互联网认识他们的第一个性伴侣。应针对处于性生涯早期的男性制定在线性健康干预措施。
The objective was to examine how many young men who have sex with men (MSM) meet their first sexual partner through the Internet and whether this has increased over time. In 2003, 2505 MSM surveyed on UK Internet sites completed a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed for 810 MSM who were under 30 years old at the time of the survey and who first had sex with another man between 1993-2002. During this period there was a significant increase in the percentage of MSM who met their first male sexual partner through the Internet (2.6-61.0%). There was a corresponding decrease in the percentage who met their first sexual partner at a gay venue (34.216.9%), school (23.7-1.3%), a public sex environment, through small ads or telephone chatlines (10.5-1.3%). An increasing number of young MSM appear to meet their first sexual partner through the Internet. Online sexual health interventions should be developed targeting men early in their sexual careers.
