SamenvattingThe aim of this thesis is to explore how culture and social factors make the men who have sex with men (MSM) population in Hong Kong more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Methodology: information and data are obtained through reviewing literature and from a small-scale field study. Ten semi-constructed, one-to-one interviews with 10 self-identified gay or bisexual Chinese MSM were carried out in March- Mid April 2007 in Hong Kong. Findings: Low participation rate in gay-based organization and insensitivity to politics, no active paricipation in fighting for gay rights; Knowledge deficit on HIV infection prevention because of absent or insufficient sex education from school and family; Difficulty in maintaining a long term relationship because of social stigma and discrimination, while a long term relationship was perceived as a reason to reduce number of sexual partners; Optimism about treatment is not common.
