China city to
survey gay men

Health officials in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, plan to interview gay and bisexual men in the city about their sexual behavior to help shape HIV and sexually transmitted disease prevention programs in the region, the Xinhua News Agency reports. The survey, which will include responses from about 200 men, will be administered by health workers at the city's disease control center and by volunteers from the gay organization Xinyan. Health workers say the study is needed in light of rapidly rising HIV rates among men who have sex with men in the province. (Advocate.com)
