AB  - OBJECTIVES: (1) To assess the HIV incidence rate among men who have sex with men 
      (MSM) in a large cohort study in Beijing, China and (2) to identify 
      sociodemographic and behavioural risk factors of HIV seroconversion among MSM in 
      Beijing, China. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. SETTING: Baseline and 
      follow-up visits were conducted among MSM in Beijing, China. PARTICIPANTS: A 
      cohort of 797 HIV-seronegative MSM was recruited from August to December 2009, 
      with follow-up occurring after 6 and 12 months. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME 
      MEASURES: At baseline and follow-up visits, participants reported 
      sociodemographic and sexual behaviour information, and were tested for HIV, 
      herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) and syphilis with whole blood specimens. Cox 
      regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with HIV 
      seroconversion. RESULTS: Most study participants (86.8%) were retained by the 
      12-month follow-up. The HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis incidence rates were 8.09 (95% CI 
      6.92 to 9.26), 5.92 (95% CI 5.44 to 6.40) and 8.06 (95% CI 7.56 to 8.56) cases 
      per 100 person-years, respectively. HIV seroconversion was significantly 
      associated with being <25 years old, having <12 years of education, having >1 
      male sex partner in the past 6 months, and being syphilis positive or HSV-2 
      positive. CONCLUSIONS: The HIV incidence among MSM in Beijing is serious. 
      Interventions and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) should be 
      combined with HIV control and prevention measures among MSM.
