“…Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals who primarily sought sexual partners through offline venues in the past 6 months (aOR = 5.28, 95% CI: 1.01–27.79), had more than one sexual partner in the past 6 months (aOR = 2.76, 95% CI: 1.33–5.74), engaged with more than two casual partners in the past 6 months (aOR = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.35–6.78), or had more than one regular partner (aOR = 3.37, 95% CI: 1.51–7.51) exhibited an increased likelihood of initiating HIVST.ConclusionIn the context of comprehensive promotion and coverage of HIVST service, the development of personalized, adaptable, and innovative HIVST strategies for MSM with a higher number of sexual partners, particularly those in regular partnerships and those seeking partners offline, may further increase the adoption of HIVST among MSM.…”
