Male-on-Male Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Money Boys and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men in Shanghai, China

Abstract

We conclude that violence and abuse from male partners are highly prevalent among Chinese MSM, and that experience of violence from male sexual partners is linked to increased HIV risk. HIV prevention targeting Chinese MSM must address the increased risk associated with experience of male-on-male IPV. Future research should explore links between HIV risk and MSM's perpetration of violence against male partners, as well as exploring the role of violence in the male-female relationships of men who have sex with and men and women.
