“…Bottoms are often in a submissive position during anal sex and younger than those who have the top role, which may in turn result in a lower awareness or reduced ability in terms of selfprotection (62). On the other hand, the MSM who engaged exclusively or predominantly in receptive anal intercourse would be more likely to use recreational drugs and have unprotected receptive anal intercourse (URAI) (63), as the effects of recreational drugs in relaxing the anal sphincter and in reducing pain during anal intercourse (64)(65)(66), which carries a higher risk for HIV infection in the absence of condom use. For those who engaged in both receptive and insertive anal intercourse, studies show versatile sexual roles could have more occasional sex partners or engage in UAI frequently (60,62,67).…”

Background: Although human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence in the general population is very low in China, high infection rate has been reported among men who have sex with men (MSM). We conducted a meta-analysis to identify HIV infection associated risk factors among MSM in China, thus we can further understand the high-risk population and provided basic information to further develop specific and effective interventions of HIV prevention. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in several public databases, the relevant articles which published from January 2010 to June 2018 were identified, and a meta-analysis was performed according to these included studies. The odds ratio (OR) and its 95 % confidence intervals (CI) of each risk factor among MSM in China were pooled by using a random-effects model or fixed-effects model when appropriate. Results: A total of 23 articles were included and analyzed. The pooled results revealed that non-local residency (OR=2.31, 95% CI: 1.05, 5.08), education less than junior high school (OR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.36, 2.21), engaging in commercial sex (OR=2.99, 95% CI: 1.02, 8.72), preferred receptive sexual role (OR=2.43, 95% CI: 2.09, 2.83), having anal bleeding during anal intercourse (OR=2.22, 95% CI: 1.60, 3.07), having no HIV test in the last 12 months (OR=2.17, 95% CI: 1.45, 3.25), having unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in the last 6 months (OR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.69, 2.50), recreational drugs use (OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.53, 2.36), preferred versatile sexual role (OR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.35, 2.21), inadequate HIV related knowledge (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.26, 2.11), having multiple sexual partners (MSP) in the last 6 months (OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.24, 2.47), having infection of syphilis (OR=3.22, 95% CI: 3.02, 3.44) and diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the last 12 months (OR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.30, 2.26) were significantly and positively related to HIV infection. Conclusions: Continuous education and further interventions such as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) should be prioritized for those MSM who engaged in high-risk behaviors.

“…A study conducted in Mainland China showed that significantly less connectivity of the thalamic nuclear groups with the prefrontal cortex, the motor cortex/supplementary motor area, and the posterior parietal cortex in ketamine users compared to non-ketamine users 24 . Because ketamine is a club drug that can harm executive functions, its users are likely to engage in high-risk behavior that can lead to HIV infection 25 , 26 and reckless driving 11 . Two studies found that frequent ketamine use and any ketamine use were associated with sexually risky behavior 25 , 27 .…”

Young adults under the influence of various club drugs were shown to be at greater risk than non-users of engaging in dangerous behavior such as unprotected sex, thus facilitating the transmission of infectious diseases 26 .…”

This study aims to depict and compare clinical characteristics and risk behavior among groups of individuals using ketamine, polydrugs or smoking cigarette. A total of 185 drug-using participants and 49 smokers participated in this study. A cross-sectional interview was used to collect information on demographics, drug- and sex-related behaviors, HIV serostatus, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), behavioral dispositions. N-back memory test was used to measure short-term memory. Result shows that 10 participants (5.41%) were HIV positive and 14 (7.57%) having LUTS. Individuals with ketamine and polydrugs use have significantly worse drug-related problem than cigarette smokers. Compared to cigarette smokers and ketamine users, individuals with polydrug users scored significantly higher on impulsivity measures. Cigarette smokers performed significantly better than the other two groups on the memory tests. A few patients had been infected with HIV and diagnosed with LUTS. Findings support that memory on short term recalls of patients with ketamine use might be impaired. Study findings warrants the necessarily of further study on influences of using ketamine.

“…Females in a relationship with violent partners have four times the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, including HIV (CDC, 2018). Oser et al . (2008) suggested that criminal offenders are at higher risk for both contracting and transmitting HIV, particularly due to increased substance abuse and sexual risk-taking behaviors; however, the prevalence of HIV risk-taking behaviors among substance abusing male offenders of IPV and the effects on their females partners is still undetermined.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the rates of HIV risk-taking behavior and sexual violence among clients with co-occurring addiction and intimate partner violence (IPV). The current study also aims to determine whether HIV risk-taking behaviors (e.g. trading sex for money or drugs, having unprotected sex with multiple partners) differ among substance using IPV offenders with and without a history of sexual aggression. Design/methodology/approach Secondary analyses were conducted from Easton et al.’s (2017) randomized controlled trial of substance use domestic violence treatment among substance using IPV offenders. Correlational analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between pre-treatment sexual aggression, HIV risk-taking behaviors, substance use and aggression. Analyses of covariance were conducted in order to determine differences in participants’ HIV risk-taking behaviors based on their history of sexual aggression while controlling for hours of contact with the female partners. Findings In a sample of 63 participants, males with higher rates of sexual aggression were more likely to engage in sexual risk-taking behaviors. This study encountered a correlation between pre-treatment risk-taking behavior and verbal and physical aggression, as well as a correlation between pre-treatment risk-taking behaviors and cocaine use. Results neither suggest a relationship between sexual aggression and alcohol use nor HIV risk-taking behaviors and alcohol use at pre-treatment. Research limitations/implications The present study is limited by sample size and power. Originality/value This study is among the first of its kind to investigate HIV risk-taking behaviors among substance using offenders of IPV. This study provides support for the inclusion of treatment targeting HIV risk-taking behaviors among IPV offenders.
