Abstract in brief

  • The study found that rectal douching (RD), especially when done with inappropriate tools like shower hoses and before anal sex, is linked to an increased risk of HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shenyang, China.
  • Participants commonly used shower hoses for RD, and most performed douching either before or after sex, with a significant number engaging in condomless receptive anal intercourse, which further increased HIV risk.
  • The research highlighted that HIV and syphilis prevalence among participants were notable, and certain behaviors such as pre-sex RD with shower hoses and serosorting were associated with higher infection risks, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions.]
