This paper presents data from a recent cross-sectional survey of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the US, to understand changes in sexual behavior and access to HIV prevention options (i.e. condoms and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)) during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The Love and Sex in the Time of COVID-19 survey was conducted online from April to May, 2020. GBMSM were recruited through advertisements featured on social networking platforms, recruiting a sample size of 518 GBMSM. Analysis considers changes three in self-reported measures of sexual behavior: number of sex partners, number of anal sex partners and number of anal sex partners not protected by pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or condoms. Approximately two-thirds of the sample reported that they believed it was possible to contract COVID-19 through sex, with anal sex reported as the least risky sex act. Men did not generally feel it was important to reduce their number of sex partners during COVID-19, but reported a moderate willingness to have sex during COVID-19. For the period between February and April-May 20,202, participants reported a mean increase of 2.3 sex partners during COVID-19, a mean increase of 2.1 anal sex partners (range - 40 to 70), but a very small increase in the number of unprotected anal sex partners. Increases in sexual behavior during COVID-19 were associated with increases in substance use during the same period. High levels of sexual activity continue to be reported during the COVID-19 lockdown period and these high levels of sexual activity are often paralleled by increases in substance use and binge drinking. There is a clear need to continue to provide comprehensive HIV prevention and care services during COVID-19, and telehealth and other eHealth platforms provide a safe, flexible mechanism for providing services.

COVID-19 时期的性行为：对美国 COVID-19 流行期间同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者的性经历和艾滋病毒预防进行在线调查的结果。

本文提供了最近一项针对美国同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者 (GBMSM) 的横断面调查的数据，旨在了解性行为的变化和获得艾滋病毒预防方案（即安全套和暴露前预防）的情况(PrEP)) 在 COVID-19 封锁期间。“COVID-19时代的爱与性”调查于2020年4月至5月在网上进行。GBMSM通过社交网络平台上的广告招募GBMSM，招募样本量为518名GBMSM。分析考虑了自我报告的性行为指标的三项变化：性伴侣数量、肛交伴侣数量以及不受暴露前预防 (PrEP) 或避孕套保护的肛交伴侣数量。大约三分之二的样本表示，他们认为可能通过性行为感染 COVID-19，其中肛交被认为是风险最小的性行为。男性普遍认为在 COVID-19 期间减少性伴侣数量并不重要，但报告称在 COVID-19 期间有适度的性行为意愿。20,202 年 2 月至 4 月至 5 月期间，参与者报告在 COVID-19 期间平均增加了 2.3 个性伴侣，平均增加了 2.1 个肛交伴侣（范围为 40 至 70 个），但肛交伴侣数量的增加非常小。未受保护的肛交伴侣。COVID-19 期间性行为的增加与同一时期物质使用的增加有关。在 COVID-19 封锁期间，仍有大量性活动报告，而这些高水平性活动往往伴随着物质使用和酗酒的增加。显然需要在 COVID-19 期间继续提供全面的艾滋病毒预防和护理服务，而远程医疗和其他电子医疗平台提供了安全、灵活的服务提供机制。
