The results of multivariate analysis showed that participants who had a history of being infected by syphilis were more than 4 times more likely to be HIV positive (AOR=4.91; 95% CI: 1.70 to 12.02). For those who were residents from other provinces, the risk of HIV infection was 5.53 times higher (OR=5.53, 95% CI: 1.14, 6.25). Receipt of condoms (AOR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.87), consistent condom use during last intercourse with a male (AOR=0.35; 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.87), and consistent condom use during last intercourse with a female (AOR=0.16; 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.90) were associated with a lower risk of HIV infection.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study suggests that some intervention strategies, including education intervention, condom promotion and distribution, and HIV counseling and testing are necessary to control HIV infection among MSM.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-13-356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,17]],"date-time":"2013-04-17T13:57:17Z","timestamp":1366207037000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Factors associated with HIV infection among men who have sex with men in Henan Province, China: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jie","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ezeakile Moses","family":"C","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shijie","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"5271_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"647","DOI":"10.1097\/OLQ.0b013e3181aac23d","volume":"36","author":"Y Xiao","year":"2009","unstructured":"Xiao Y, Ding X, Li C, Liu J, Sun J, Jia Y: Prevalence and correlates of HIV and syphilis infections among men who have sex with men in Chongqing Municipality, China.
