纽约市男男性行为者（MSM）中持续的艾滋病毒流行以及MSM越来越多地使用互联网性社交网站，促使人们需要了解这一群体的特征和与性有关的行为。作者对纽约市195名使用性社交网站的MSM进行了在线调查。人口统计学特征，性感觉寻求，和艾滋病毒的乐观主义，怀疑态度进行了比较，参与者报告性行为和不使用安全套（安全性行为和高风险性行为，分别）与合作伙伴在网上见面。两组之间的收入、教育、种族或就业状况没有差异。这些群体在年龄、性感觉寻求和艾滋病毒乐观怀疑态度方面存在显着差异。在多变量逻辑回归中，HIV乐观怀疑主义（p <0.05）和性感觉寻求（p <0.05）是高危性行为的显著预测因子（伪R-2 = 0.24）。在为这一群体制定干预措施时应考虑到这一信息。例如，为了接触那些寻求性感觉的人，公共卫生专业人员应该设计性积极的预防信息，在网上分发，强调安全性行为，但不谴责危险的性行为。
The ongoing HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) in New York City and the increased use of Internet sexual social networking websites by MSM fosters a need to understand the characteristics and sex-related behaviors of this group. The authors conducted an online survey of 195 MSM who use sexual social networking websites in New York City. Demographic characteristics, sexual sensation seeking, and HIV optimism-skepticism were compared among participants reporting sex with and without condom use (safe sex and high-risk sex, respectively) with partners met online. There was no difference in income, education, race, or employment status between the groups. The groups differed significantly in age, sexual sensation seeking, and HIV optimism-skepticism. In a multivariate logistic regression both HIV optimism-skepticism (p < .05) and sexual sensation seeking (p < .05) were significant predictors of high-risk sexual behavior (pseudo-R-2 = .24). This information should be considered when developing interventions for this group. For example, to reach those with high sexual sensation seeking, public health professionals should design sex-positive prevention messages for online distribution that highlight safer sex without condemning risky sexual practices.
