Abstract
Researchers in this study assesses risk behaviors for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sexual minority women (SMW) in Beijing, China. A total of 1,631 SMW participated in the study. Compared with women who have sex with women exclusively, women who have sex with both women and men reported more sex partners, more likely sharing sex toys, experiencing STI infections. Digital-genital sex, using sex toys, G-spot stimulation is associated with STI symptoms. SMW in Beijing engaged in high-risk sexual behaviors that may cause substantial risk for STIs. SMW and healthcare providers should be informed and STI testing should be promoted among SMW.
