| Abstract |
Unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) is a well-documented risk factor for acquiring HIV, but not well-studied in China. We studied demographic and behavioral correlates for UAI among men who have sex with men (MSM) in a respondent-driven-sampling (RDS) survey in Nanjing, China. Four hundred and thirty MSM (including ten seeds) participated in this study, rendering an adjusted rate of UAI as 62.3 % (95 % CI 56.4-68.4 %). Adjusted HIV and syphilis prevalence rates were 6.6 % (95 % CI 3.0-10.4) and 12.6 % (95 % CI 8.1-18.3), respectively. HIV- and syphilis-positive cases were more likely to have engaged in UAI. Being unwilling to use condoms, meeting partners in non-conventional venues, having multiple male sex-partners in the past 6 months, having sex with regular and casual male partners in the past 6 months, and consumption of alcohol before sex were all positively associated with UAI. Based on the observed high prevalence of UAI among MSM in Nanjing, we can conclude that implementation of strategies to motivate MSM with high-risk behaviors to use condoms is urgently required in Nanjing. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 February 2013.
All research outputs
#14,405,036
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#2,022
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#170,114
of 290,414 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#21
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 290,414 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
