The basic demographic information, sexual behavior and recreational drug use of the participants were collected through face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. Logistic regression was used to analyzed the characteristic differences drug users and non-users among young MSM. Results A total of 826 young MSM were included in the study, 32 were infected with HIV, and the overall prevalence rate was 3.87%. Totally 371 (44.92%) were drug users. Rush Poppers were the most common used drug (98.65%). Of the young MSM using new drugs, 306 (82.48%) multiple drugs were used, 65 people (17.52%) only one drug has been used. Among new drug users, multiple drug users had higher HIV prevalence rate (16.92%) than single drug users (4.57%). There were statistically significant differences between drug users and non-users in age, age of first sexual behavior, household registration, sexual orientation, education level, sexual partners seeking routes, unprotected anal intercourse and HIV testing history(OR=3.70, 5.51, 0.51, 0.60, 4.64, 0.40, 0.52, 1.98, 2.29, P < 0.05). Conclusion The utilization rate of recreational drugs among young MSM in Tianjin was high.
