Abstract
“Eighty-one of 210 individuals approached completed surveys (survey acceptance and completion rate 38.6%). Majority were cisgender-male (76/81; 93.8%), Caucasian (48/79; 60.8%), with median age 28 years (IQR 24-40). Nine of 81 (11.5%) self-reported HIV-positivity. Median sexual partner number (6 months prior) was 4 (IQR 3-10). Majority, 89.9% and 75.9%, reported insertive and receptive anal intercourse, respectively. 41% reported lifetime STI history, of whom 12.3% had an STI 6 months prior. Majority (55.8%) used ≥ 1 illicit substance; 87.7% moderate alcohol use. Among HIV-negative respondents, most (95.7%) were aware of PrEP, but only 48.4% used PrEP.”
Results
“The gender of sexual partners was only male for 85.2%, while 13.6% reported both, and 1.2% selected only female partners. Median values for number of sexual partners in prior 6 months and 2 weeks were 4 (IQR 3-10) and 1 (IQR 1-2), respectively. 12.3% had partners living with HIV (Table 1). Regarding sexual practices, 96.2% participated in oral sex, 69.6% insertive anal intercourse, 63.3% receptive anal intercourse, and 7.6% insertive vaginal intercourse. Median percentage of condom usage was 90% (IQR 34.8-100%). Majority (94.9%) reported no known mpox exposure, while 3.8% reported known exposure.”
