2019冠状病毒病大流行正在加剧包括男男性行为者（MSM）在内的弱势群体的卫生不平等。我们进行了一项快速在线调查（2020年4月2日至4月13日），调查了COVID-19对1051名美国MSM性健康的影响。许多参与者对一般健康，社会交往，金钱，食物，药物使用和酒精消费产生了不利影响。一半人的性伴侣减少，大多数人在获得或使用避孕套方面没有变化。一些国家报告了在获得艾滋病毒检测、预防和治疗服务方面的挑战。与年龄较大的男男性行为者相比，15-24岁的男男性行为者更有可能报告经济和服务影响。虽然需要对MSM中的COVID-19流行病学进行更多研究，但已经有证据表明艾滋病毒相关服务正在出现中断。在COVID-19大流行期间，可能迫切需要可扩展的远程解决方案，如远程医疗和邮寄检测和预防用品，以避免MSM中艾滋病毒发病率的增加。
The COVID-19 pandemic is reinforcing health inequities among vulnerable populations, including men who have sex with men (MSM). We conducted a rapid online survey (April 2 to April 13, 2020) of COVID-19 related impacts on the sexual health of 1051 US MSM. Many participants had adverse impacts to general wellbeing, social interactions, money, food, drug use and alcohol consumption. Half had fewer sex partners and most had no change in condom access or use. Some reported challenges in accessing HIV testing, prevention and treatment services. Compared to older MSM, those 15-24 years were more likely to report economic and service impacts. While additional studies of COVID-19 epidemiology among MSM are needed, there is already evidence of emerging interruptions to HIV-related services. Scalable remote solutions such as telehealth and mailed testing and prevention supplies may be urgently needed to avert increased HIV incidence among MSM during the COVID-19 pandemic era.
