HIV prevalence and related risk factors among male sex workers in Shenzhen, China: results from a time-location sampling survey

Abstract

High-risk sexual practices were common among MSW regardless of their high level of HIV awareness. The working venues were associated with HIV infection and a recent test for HIV was a potential predictor of HIV infection. The time-location sampling method was found to be an appropriate way of recruiting MSW for this study, especially those without fixed working places.
