HIV/STD监测系统的数据对于为男男性行为者(MSM)制定预防和控制方案非常重要，MSM目前是中国HIV/STD监测活动的核心群体。从深圳市不同场所招募男男性接触者，进行HIV和梅毒检测。在这一人群中发现了艾滋病毒和梅毒感染的大量流行。然而，从不同环境(男同性恋桑拿、男同性恋酒吧和男同性恋诊所)招募的男男性接触者的危险行为和社会人口学特征差异很大，这表明仔细考虑和选择适当的环境来代表男男性接触者人口对于制定艾滋病毒和性传播疾病监测和预防方案至关重要。
HIV/STD surveillance system data are important for developing prevention and control programmes for men who have sex with men (MSM), now a core group in Chinese HIV/STD surveillance activities. MSM were recruited from different settings in Shenzhen and were tested for HIV and syphilis. A substantial prevalence of HIV and syphilis infections was found in this population. However, risk behaviours and sociodemographic characteristics varied greatly among MSM recruited from the different settings (gay sauna, gay bar and MSM clinic), suggesting that carefully considering and selecting appropriate settings to represent the MSM population is critical for developing HIV and STD surveillance and prevention programmes.
