HIV/AIDS continues to have adverse effects on populations of men who have sex with men (MSM) despite long-standing efforts in prevention and education and recent medical advances in care and treatment options. Moreover, the accessibility of social networking on the Internet and the opportunity to meet sex partners on special interest websites has been an emerging area of concern with regard to increased rates of HIV infection. Using a cross-sectional design, this study examined the extent of high-risk sexual behavior, levels of sexual adventurism, the degree of HIV optimism/skepticism, and attitudes and beliefs toward online HIV prevention in a convenience sample of 195 New York City MSM who were recruited via sex-related social networking websites.

520 $a HIV/AIDS continues to have adverse effects on populations of men who have sex with men (MSM) despite long-standing efforts in prevention and education and recent medical advances in care and treatment options. Moreover, the accessibility of social networking on the Internet and the opportunity to meet sex partners on special interest websites has been an emerging area of concern with regard to increased rates of HIV infection. Using a cross-sectional design, this study examined the extent of high-risk sexual behavior, levels of sexual adventurism, the degree of HIV optimism/skepticism, and attitudes and beliefs toward online HIV prevention in a convenience sample of 195 New York City MSM who were recruited via sex-related social networking websites.
520 $a Sexual adventurism had positive relationships with HIV optimism, number of anal sex acts without a condom, number of men met face-to-face, and number of anal sex acts all with a man met online in the past three months. HIV optimism was positively correlated with the number of anal sex acts during the last three months with a man met online. Additionally, Internet-initiated anal sex acts without a condom was positively related to the number of face-to-face meetings, oral sex acts and anal sex acts with a man met online during the past three months.
520 $a Men who reported greater beliefs in the accessibility and responsiveness to online HIV prevention interventions also reported greater belief that the interventions could change behavior and would receive social support, and believed that the interventions were useful. Also, the men reported greater levels of HIV optimism and high frequencies of overall positive beliefs and attitudes toward the interventions.
520 $a Prediction models showed that the number of men met face-to-face and the number of anal sex acts in the last three months significantly predicted high-risk sexual behavior while HIV optimism was the best predictor of beliefs and attitudes toward the accessibility of and responsiveness to health educators and accessibility of and responsiveness to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on these sites. Results indicate that men on the sites may prefer the interactivity that interventions like a FAQ page bring to online HIV prevention efforts.
