- Description
- Objective: To examine effect of intervention strategies on developing sustainable safe sex practice among MSM. Methods: A total of 420 participants were divided into three non-clinical trial groups, i.e. BCC-based condom facilitation (BCC-CF) group, sub-culture-based socio-facilitation (SBC-SF) group and the control group, to assess the sustaining effect of different models of intervention by stepwise cross-sectional follow-up survey. Results: The survey of 410 MSM who had homo-sex partners in the past 6 months indicated that the rate of consistent condom use in anal intercourse with casual partners as a key indicator significantly increased in the BCGCF (62.0%, P<0.0001) and SBC-SF (47.4%, P<0.0001) groups after 5 month intervention. However, findings from 2nd post-test in twelve months and 3rd post-test in twentyfour months after the intervention indicated that the rates of condom use were declined significantly (5% - ~ 9.3%, P<0.01) in the BCCCF group, while the rates increased in a sustainable way (7.6% - 9.4% , P<0.01) in the SBC-SF group. Conclusions: The model of BCC-CF with peer education which is widely used has been challenged, and it is suggested that only by combining with the model of SBC-SF will the behavioral change be meaningful, and so the SBCSF model which is more effective and sustainable should be further explored.
