Evidence of heterosexual bridging among syphilis-positive men who have sex with men.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:While much research to date has examined female sex trade work, little has been done to evaluate factors associated with male sex trade involvement or to assess their health service needs. This is particularly true for male sex trade workers who are also injection drug users (IDUs). Therefore, the present an...
