Background: Little research has been conducted on the human immunodeficiency virus HIV epidemic and the sexual intercourse habits of men who have sex with men MSM in crowded places, both locally and abroad. This study conducted a survey of MSM in different locales of Inner Mongolia to provide a reference for developing strategies or measures to prevent and control HIV among this understudied population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of men aged 18 years and older at different venues popular among MSM in Inner Mongolia.
A total of MSM participated. Participants signed a voluntary informed consent form, completed an anonymous questionnaire and were tested for HIV and syphilis antibodies. Results: Of the MSM surveyed, 6. MSM partners found in bars, in public baths, in parks and online were primarily high school students and technical secondary school students.

MSM who were streetwalkers or cross-dressing male sex workers primarily had junior middle school education levels or below. Married MSM primarily had intercourse in public baths and parks, and MSM who had intercourse in public baths and parks also reported the greatest proportions of intercourse with women Furthermore, MSM who had intercourse in parks reported having the most anal sex with same-sex partners and unprotected intercourse in the past 6 months.
Unprotected intercourse with women in the past 6 months was also common among MSM who met partners in bathhouses or online. MSM were most likely to have anal sex with other men in public baths. MSM who had intercourse in bars were the least likely to have used a condom with female partners in the past 6 months. The culture of the MSM who had frequent intercourse with streetwalkers and cross-dressing male sex workers did not predict behavior.
Abstract Background: Little research has been conducted on the human immunodeficiency virus HIV epidemic and the sexual intercourse habits of men who have sex with men MSM in crowded places, both locally and abroad.
