HIV-syphilis co-infection is often cited as a major reason behind recent resurgence in syphilis prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Most published literatures explore factors associated with either HIV or syphilis, but not their co-infection. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey on MSM in seven Chinese cities. Snowball sampling was used to recruit participants for the survey. Socio-demographic and behavioral predictors for HIV-syphilis mono/co-infection were examined using ordinal logistic regression. Factor scores were used to summarize; 1) HIV related knowledge, and 2) access to HIV preventive services. Prevalence of HIV, syphilis, and their co-infection, among 2936 self-identified MSM, were 7.7%, 14.3%, and 2.6%, respectively. In the adjusted analysis, the significant positive correlates of poorer diagnoses (co-infection vs mono- & no infection or co- & mono-infection vs no infection) were −30 to 39 years and ≥40 years age, education up to senior high school, unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), recent STD symptoms, incorrect knowledge about routes of transmission, and access to preventive or counselling/testing services for HIV. For effective control of this dual epidemic, integrated HIV and syphilis surveillance and targeted intervention strategies for Chinese MSM are need of the hour.
