Introduction • The HIV pandemic is one of the most significant public health challenges of the 21st century in the world. • With 33.4 million people worldwide currently infected, and with 2.7 million new infected in 2008 alone.

Bangkok: 17.3% (2003) to 28.3% (2005) Pune: 18.9% (2002) Beijing: 0.4% (2004) to 5.2% (2006) Introduction • Guangzhou is the capital city of Guangdong, a southern province in mainland China, and is remarkable for its rapid economic growth. • Three studies of HIV infection among MSM in Guangzhou: 2003 1.7% ( 2/121 ) 2004 0.0% ( 0/201) 2006 1.7% ( 7/409 ) • Indicating the possible increase in HIV infection among MSM in Guangzhou. Objectives • To investigate the trend of HIV epidemic among MSM in Guangzhou, by case-based surveillance system (CBSS), sentinel surveillance, and other surveys. • To identify potential risk factors driving the HIV epidemic among MSM. Methods - CBSS • Since 1986, a case-based surveillance system (CBSS) in China has collected data on persons infected with HIV, including demographic characteristics and transmission categories. • To assess recent trends in HIV infection among MSM in Guangzhou, we analyzed CBSS data from 1986 - 2009. Methods - sentinel surveillance • Sentinel surveillance is a type of surveillance activity in which specific facilities such as offices of certain health care providers, hospitals or clinics across a geographical region are designated to collect data about HIV infection among high-risk populations. • MSM sentinel surveillance in Guangzhou 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 convenience sampling 2008 respondent-driven sampling 2009 snowball sampling 2010 respondent-driven and snowball sampling Methods - Respondent-Driven Sampling • Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS): Adjusted snowball sampling • Each seed is given three coded coupons to recruit his peers. • Persons who present with a valid coupon and who is eligible can be enrolled, and, in turn, given three recruitment coupons to give to their peers. • A primary incentive, including a gift and 20 Yuan cash was given for participation in the interview and the provision of five ml blood for serological testing. • A secondary incentive, 10 Yuan cash was given for every additional recruitment of MSM peers.

Follow-up every 3-6 months Test HIV and syphilis antibody to calculate incidence density. • Collect information of serological and behavioral changes. • • • • Methods - subtype and drug resistance • 154 sera were randomly selected from HIV-1 positive samples between 2006 and 2009 • Segments of env , gag and pol genes were amplified using RT-PCR • PCR products were sequenced • Genotyping was conducted by phylogenetic analysis of segments of env and gag genes • Mutations drug resistance was confirmed by comparing acquired sequences of pol gene with Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database ( http://hivdb.stanford.edu ) Results - case reporting • First HIV case reporting in 1986, now in phase of rapid rising. • In 2009, reporting 1697 PLHA cases, with 775 AIDS cases, 195 deaths. • Cumulatively, reporting 9419 PLHA cases, with 2332 AIDS cases, 839 deaths.

Conclusions • A rapid increase of HIV epidemic among MSM in Guangzhou exists. • The potential risk of resistance transmission has been present. • Targeted interventions with VCT and STI services are needed to address the epidemic, with a focus on such subgroups as those of with current syphilis and UAI. • Behavioral intervention through the internet should be explored and VCT in MSM community should be enhanced to increase case detection and to prevent secondary HIV transmission.
