Sex With Men

Methamphetamine use is associated with increased HIV/STI infection among men who have sex with men (MSM). From March 2014 through January 2016, 286 methamphetamine-using MSM enrolled in a study to reduce methamphetamine use and sexual risk behaviors. Participants were tested for HIV/STIs at baseline and every 3 months for 9 months. At baseline, 115 participants (40.2%) were HIV–positive; three participants seroconverted (incidence = 2.6/100 person-years). Baseline testing diagnosed 77 STI cases (21 chlamydia, 18 gonorrhea, 38 syphilis); by 9-month follow-up, 71 incident STIs were diagnosed (22 chlamydia, 24 gonorrhea, 25 syphilis); 78% occurred among HIV–positive participants. Despite efforts to reduce sexual risks among methamphetamine-using MSM, HIV/STI prevalence and incidence remain elevated.

Hiv Acquisition

Although emerging evidence suggests that hunger may be a risk factor for engaging in risk behaviors that lead to HIV acquisition, this has rarely been explored for young minority men who have sex with men (YMSM). This study explored a range of sexual risk behaviors for associations with a measure of hunger, assessed among 448 YMSM residing in Los Angeles, CA. Forty-five percent experienced hunger (past 12 months). Hunger was significantly associated with engaging in any condomless anal receptive sex (CARS) (adjusted odds ratio = 1.74; 95% confidence interval = 1.01–3.01; P = .049). Further, hunger was also significantly associated with a greater percentage of CARS (Beta = .12; t = 2.18; P = .03). Parallel effects were not observed relative to condomless anal insertive sex. Findings suggest that the experience of hunger among young minority MSM is generally not associated with a milieu of sexual risk. One important exception is that hunger may lead to having CARS. This suggests a potential ‘trade off’ for receptive partners experiencing hunger and partially supports the idea that at hunger may predispose minority YMSM to partner demands not to use condoms.
