Abstract

Abstract

Objective To analyze the characteristics of first-time homosexual behavior among young male students who have sex with men (MSM) population, so as to provide reference for the formulation of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention and control measures in colleges and universities. Methods A combination of cross-sectional study and in-depth interview were used. A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect information of participant demographics and sexual debut. By in-depth interview, we further summarized reasons of sexual debut and condomless sexual intercourse. Results A total of 302 valid questionnaires were surveyed. The age at which the first homosexual behavior occurred was (17.59 ± 1.78) years old. Most of participants sought sexual partners from internet (34.1%). There was statistical difference between the protection of the first homosexual behavior and homosexual behavior in the past 6 months (χ² =52.247, P < 0.001). The results of in-depth interviews showed that 13 people acknowledged the first homosexual behavior that occurred through online connections such as dating software due to psychology such as curiosity and pursuit of stimulus. The main reason for not using condoms during the whole process was the lack of knowledge about AIDS prevention and control(77.8%). Conclusions For the first time, the homosexual behavior of young male students MSM populations were characterized by young age, poor protection awareness, low awareness rate, and finding sexual partners mainly through dating software. It was necessary to further strengthen the publicity and education for this group, including popularizing the age in advance, improving details, and strengthening behavioral intervention and communication skills. The active role of new media in AIDS prevention and education should be fully played.
