OBJECTIVE: To study the awareness and acceptance of @entity1082 ) vaccination among sexually active @entity1 having sex with @entity1 (MSM) and @entity1 not having sex with @entity1 (MNSM) attending the largest @entity458 in Wuxi, China. METHODS: A questionnaire about @entity1 ' socio-demographic characteristics and view on HPV vaccination was collected. RESULTS: A total of 186 MSM and 182 MNSM were recruited. Among MSM, 12.4% were under 20  years old, 64.5% never married and 56.5% from Jiangsu Province (where Wuxi City is located); 64.0% had resided in Wuxi for over 2  years, 64.5% had high school education or more, and 83.9% had an income of 5000 RMB or less per month compared to figures of 5.5%, 50.6%, 73.6%, 54.9%, 86.8% and 64.8% among MNSM, respectively (All P values<0.05). Among these two groups of @entity1 , 18.4% and 23.1% had heard of HPV; 10.2% and 15.4% had heard of HPV vaccine; and 26.2% and 20.2% would take HPV vaccine before sexual debut, respectively. MNSM were significantly more willing to take HPV vaccine than MSM (70.9  vs 34.9%, p<0.001). Factors associated with HPV vaccine acceptance among MSM included engaging mostly in receptive anal sex (Odds ratio (OR)=3.9, 95% Confidence interval (CI): 1.8-13.5), never using a condom in anal sex in the past 6 months (3.5, 1.5-20.2), ever diagnosed with a @entity2953 ( @entity2953 ) (3.4, 1.3-8.4) and ever receiving @entity645 related services (1.6, 1.1-4.4). Among MNSM these Factors included commercial sex with @entity1 (1.7, 1.2-8.6), never using a condom in commercial sex (1.6, 1.4-7.6) and @entity2953 diagnosis (2.0, 1.6-7.3). CONCLUSIONS: Sexually active MSM and MNSM in Wuxi lacked knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccination. The majority of these at-risk @entity1 would not benefit from HPV vaccination as their age at first sex proceeded perceived age of vaccine uptake. Aggressive education aimed at increasing knowledge of HPV and HPV vaccination among these @entity1 is warranted.
