Background of the research:Since the overspread of AIDS,the male homosexual behaviour group has become one of the high-risk groups of HIV infection,and it has been taken as the key object of AIDS prevention. However,due to the influence of China's traditional culture,people have been afraid of talking about sexual topics publicly for a long time,let alone the male homosexual behaviour. Particularly for the homosexual group has long been regard in the society as "heterodoxy""special"even"pervert" to be discriminated,excluded or striked. Even in the medical fraternity,it was not until 2001 did the homosexual have been excluded from mental disease. So usually the homosexual act group doesn't want to betray their sexual orientation,living in the edge between reality and real self. As the high-risk group,MSM refers to men who have sex with man,include male homosexual(gay),male bisexual(Bi) and male heterosexual who have contact with the same sex.In recent years,apart from the drug users and female sex workers,MSM group has become one of main groups of HIV infection concerned by people. In the news briefing of Report of the Global AIDS Epidemic, 2009 and prospect of AIDS in 2010 held in ShangHai in November 24,2009, Michelle. Sidibe,the UNAIDS Executive Director and the UN Deputy Secretary General,announced the latest news of the AIDS epidemic: in China's mainland,the date indicate that 32 percent of the HIV infection discovered last year is male homosexual,and 40 percent comes from heterosexual act. But the date announced in 2006 told that 40.6 percent of the discovered infector is heterosexual infection and 11.1 percent is homosexual. The proportion of homosexual infection rose from 11.1 percent to 32 percent in just 3 years. MSM group have a certain infection level and a certain group,the risk of the AIDS's spread could not be neglected. At the same time,among the MSM group, there are some people have sex with male as well as female,which is a main bridge of the HIV spread between high-risk group and common group. At present, some cities in China such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Harbin, Shenzhen, Dalian, Shenyang and other big cities have been carried out MSM group HIV epidemiological investigation It is understood that there has not yet been developed a vaccine that could cure HIV very well,but the related experts expressed:"health education is the best "vaccine" that could prevent HIV at the present stage."AIDS is not terrible,the best measure to prevent and control AIDS is to master AIDS knowledge and change bad behaviour. In order to know about this region's MSM group's knowledge about AIDS, venereal disease and their individual act, to develop pertinent interventions,and provide scientific foundation for the comprehensive prevent strategy of AIDS,we carried out a questionnaire about MSM group in KaiFeng in 2010 .Aim of the research:According to KaiFeng's MSM group's knowledge,attitude,behaviour about AIDS to survey and analyse,to provide some advices for KaiFeng's AIDS prevention and cure.
