Results: Our study planned to recruit 480 gay bathroom MSM, due to the unwilling or other factors, 465 MSM were surveyed. A total of 47.3% (220/465) gay bathroom MSM received HIV testing during past 6 months. Multivariate analysis indicated that being married ( OR =0.35, 95 %CI : 0.18-0.69), peer education ( OR =4.31, 95 %CI : 1.32-14.09), homosexual behavior during past 6 months ( OR =1.85, 95 %CI : 1.08-3.14), extramarital heterosexual behavior during past 6 months ( OR =4.12, 95 %CI : 2.45-6.91) might be positive factors related with HIV testing acceptation in MSM. Conclusion: Being married, homosexual behavior during past 6 months, extramarital heterosexual behavior, partner education might be the positive factors related with acceptance of HIV testing among gay bathroom MSM. Therefore, peer education needs to be strengthened. HIV testing after high risk sexual behavior needs to be promoted in MSM.
