Abstract
<b>Objective:To explore the demographic characteristics and sexual behavior of men who have sex with men （MSM） in Tianjin， and to compare these aspects between recreational drug users and non-users. <b>Methods:This research was conducted by Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. From July to September 2015， various methods such as simple random sampling and snowball sampling were used to recruit MSM. Information was collected through on-site questionnaire surveys， and laboratory tests were conducted to detect human immunodeficiency virus （HIV） infection status in the research subjects. Statistical description and frequency distribution tests on demographic information and behavioral variables were performed. <b>Results:A total of 410 qualified participants， ranged from 17 to 70 years old， were included. A total of 297 （72.4%） MSM were unmarried， 194 （47.3%） had monthly income over 3 000 yuan， 182 （44.4%） MSM had high school education， and 366 （89.3%） were working full-time. Among all 410 participants， 208 MSM self-reported using recreational drugs. Among them， 140 MSM had used Rush Popper. Influencing factors of unprotected anal intercourse （UAI） among Rush Popper users include： more than 30 years old， average monthly income less than 5 000 yuan， and sex with temporary partners （all <italic>P</italic><0.05）. <b>Conclusion:Among MSM in Tianjin， the use of recreational drugs is quite common， and Rush Popper is the most commonly used recreational drug. Therefore， it is necessary to establish and strengthen the relevant laws and regulations for the reduction of Rush Popper circulation among the MSM population.
