After pre-screening, a total of 179 gonorrhea patients were recruited (88.3% male).Multivariate logistic regression analysis model was performed to analyze the risk factors of temporary sexual behavior.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that 55.2% of gonorrhea patients aged ≤40 years had temporary sexual behavior, 53.1% of whom had the most recent sexual intercourse were temporary sexual partners, and 53.1% were male (OR=3.765, 95%CI=1.259~11.253, P=0.018), single (OR=3.141, 95%CI=1.589~6.208, P=0.001), multiple sexual partners (≥2 persons)within the past month (OR=4.119,95%CI=1.829~9.278, P=0.001) , which were identified as the major significant risk factors for temporary sexual behavior.
