Abstract
There is no gold standard for recruiting unbiased samples of men who have sex with men MSM To assess differing recruitment methods we compared Seattlearea MSM samples from venuedaytime samplingbased National HIV Behavioral Surveillance NHBS surveys in 2008 and 2011 randomdigitdialed RDD surveys in 2003 and 2006 and STD clinic patient data 2001–2011 We compared sociodemographics sexual and drugassociated behavior and HIV status and testing There was generally good consistency between the two NHBS surveys and within STD clinic data across time NHBS participants reported higher levels of drugassociated and lower levels of sexual risk than STD clinic patients RDD participants differed from the other study populations in sociodemographics and some risk behaviors While neither NHBS nor the STD clinic study populations may be representative of all MSM both appear to provide consistent samples of MSM subpopulations across time that can provide useful information to guide HIV preventionNo hay un método de referencia para reclutar muestras sin sesgo de hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres HSH Para analizar diferentes métodos de reclutamiento comparamos muestras de HSH del área de Seattle de encuestas de Vigilancia Nacional del Comportamiento Relacionado con el VIH NHBS con base en muestreo en lugares de reunión diurnos venuedaytime sampling en el 2008 y el 2011 encuestas telefónicas de marcación aleatoria randomdigitdialed RDD en el 2003 y el 2006 y datos de pacientes de clínicas de ETS entre el 2001 y el 2011 Comparamos factores sociodemográficos conductas sexuales y relacionadas con el uso de drogas y estado serológico respecto del VIH y pruebas del VIH En general hubo una coherencia buena entre las dos encuestas NHBS y en los datos de clínicas de ETS a través del tiempo Los participantes de las encuestas NHBS reportaron niveles más altos de riesgo relacionado con el uso de drogas y niveles más bajos de riesgo sexual que los pacientes de clínicas de ETS Los participantes de las encuestas RDD aparentemente se distinguieron de las otras poblaciones del estudio en factores sociodemográficos y algunas conductas de riesgo Aunque es posible que ni las poblaciones del estudio de las encuestas NHBS ni las de las clínicas de ETS sean una muestra representativa de todos los HSH ambas parecen proveer muestras consistentes de subpoblaciones de HSH a través del tiempo que pueden proporcionar información útil para orientar la prevención del VIHFunding for this research came from a Grant from the National Institutes of Health NIH 1 R03 DA03107201A1 and cooperative agreements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 5U62PS000969 and 1U1BPS003250 This research was supported by the University of Washington Center for AIDS Research CFAR an NIH funded program P30AI027757 which is supported by the following NIH Institutes and Centers NIAID NCI NIMH NIDA NICHD NHLBI NIA The findings and conclusions in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
