Abstract：Objective To understand the correlation of social network’s characters with multiple sexual partners among men who have sex with men (MSM) college students in Changsha City, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating more targeted AIDS prevention and treatment measures. Methods This study used a cross-sectional research design. An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among MSM college students who were recruited through continuous sample sampling and snowball sampling from September 2017 to March 2018 in Changsha City. Results The sample for this study included 214 eligible MSM participants, who nominated other 800 members of social networks and 430 members of sexual networks. MSM college students with multiple sexual partners accounted for 47.6%. The size and the median and quartile of the social network density were 6 (3.75, 6) and 0.1 (0, 0.5), respectively. The median and quartile of the sex network size were 2 (2, 3), and the sex network density was zero. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that MSM college students who had taken an HIV test (OR=2.688, 95%CI=1.336-5.407), having occasional sexual partners (OR=2.409, 95%CI=1.619-3.583), having more than 5friends fromsocial network (OR=2.163, 95%CI=1.093-4.280), and having a high degree of overlapping between sex network and social network (OR=0.624, 95%CI=0.412-0.945) were more likely to have two or more sexual partners. Conclusion The phenomenon of multiple sexual partners in MSM college students is prevalent; moreover, it is associated with partial social network characteristics. The Results suggest that social network intervention based on peers should be conducted to prevent HIV transmission among MSM college students.
