Understanding post-diagnosis migration patterns among HIV-positive MSM is crucial for targeted case management, yet comprehensive data from China remains limited. Among 204,394 MSM, 20,117 (9.8%) migrated after diagnosis, primary movement economically developed regions like Guangdong Province Shanghai Municipality less provincial-level...
To determine policy implications, this analysis tracks the evolution of HIV/AIDS infection across China to understand current trends and potential risk factors.A retrospective study with spatial analytical model multilevel models was conducted among 326,157 cases reported from 1989-2009. The results indicate that distribution clustered at county level different directional distributions 2003 2009.

Participants interviewed tested for sexually transmitted infections every 6 months. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model with time-dependent...
Summary Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) can contribute to the spread of HIV. From March 2006 November 2009, female sex workers (FSWs) in Yunnan, China were recruited into an open cohort study determine incidence and risk factors for HSV-2 acquisition. Participants interviewed tested other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) every six months. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model with time-dependent variables was used measure associations In 3.5 years, 83 incident...
