abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of annual reported people living with HIV/AIDS (HIV/AIDS)in Qingdao city, Shandong province from 2010 to 2014 and to provide theoretical evidence for strategies on targeted prevention and control.
  
  
  METHODS
  Information on annual reported HIV/AIDS and sentinel surveillance data from 2010 to 2014 was abstracted from the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System (CRIMS). Statistical analysis was done by SPSS software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The number of annual reported HIV/AIDS increased from 2010 to 2014 in Qingdao, with the sex ratio as 10.8. Among all the patients, 77.1% were aged 20-39 years, 65.6% were unmarried, 67.6% graduated from high school or above. Homosexual contact was the major mode of transmission, and the prevalence of MSM increased yearly (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MSM appeared the major high risk population for AIDS epidemic in Qingdao. However, surveillance projects should also be strengthened among the female population with multiple sexual partners. Optimal prevention and control measures based on the characteristics of AIDS epidemic should be developed to explore the stern spread and epidemics of the disease, in Qingdao.
