HIV prevalence increased over the study period (3.0% in 2003-2006; 4.5% in 2007-2008, and 6.8% in 2009-2010, trend test chi-square =11.3, p = 0.001).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Student MSM have become high-risk populations for HIV infection in China. The high prevalence of syphilis and the increasing HIV prevalence trend indicate the potential for a more severe HIV epidemic.
