“…Individuals were classified into drug-user groups on the basis of self-reported drug use and naturally occurring frequencies; it was not possible to examine specific drug-use combinations that may have accounted for observed differences. Despite these limitations, and in light of research showing that impulsivity and negative self-perceptions are associated with methamphetamine use and high-risk sexual practices, 27,28 these findings underscore the importance of reaching and engaging heavy drug-using, HIVpositive MSM in HIV prevention and drug treatment interventions.…”

“…Depression has been shown to be a common comorbidity among persons with drug and alcohol dependence (Regier et al, 1990). Among cocaine and methamphetamine users, depression has also been associated with higher levels of impulsivity in sexual behavior (Semple et al, 2005).…”

“…In addition, because this was a cross-sectional design, the directionality of the associations may vary in that some of the factors may precede, be concurrent with, or pursue methamphetamine/cocaine use. Notwithstanding, the literature indicates alcohol binging is common at the time of using methamphetamine and cocaine, and jointly, promote unprotected sex, a greater number of sexual partners, and ultimately, an increased likelihood of becoming infected with HIV and other STIs (Colfax et al, 2004;Semple, Zians, Grant, & Patterson, 2005;Zule et al, 2007). Another limitation is that the drug use questions did not address intensity of use in the past 12 months.…”

Methamphetamine and cocaine use have been associated with a vulnerability to HIV infection among men who have sex with men and among men who have sex with women but not specifically among Mexican migrants in the United States. The California-Mexico Epidemiological Surveillance Pilot was a venue-based targeted survey of male and female Mexican migrants living in rural and urban areas in California. Among men (n = 985), the percentage of methamphetamine/cocaine use in the past year was 21% overall, 20% in male work venues, 19% in community venues, and 25% in high-risk behavior venues. Among women, 17% reported methamphetamine/cocaine use in high-risk behavior venues. Among men, methamphetamine/cocaine use was significantly associated with age less than 35 years, having multiple sex partners, depressive symptoms, alcohol use, sexually

“…Impulsive behavior was associated with individual differences in vulnerability to drug abuse (e.g., Bickel and Marsch 2001;de Wit and Richards 1997;Semple et al 2005). Scores on the impulsive SSS of the ZKPQ are highly correlated with personality scales designed to assess impulsivity (e.g., Zuckerman et al 1993;Goma-i-Freixanet et al 2005).…”

Individual differences in drug abuse vulnerability: d-Amphetamine and sensation-seeking status

Rationale-While the personality dimensions of novelty seeking and sensation seeking are associated with drug abuse vulnerability, the mechanisms associated with this vulnerability remain obscure.Objective-This study examined the behavioral effects of d-amphetamine in healthy volunteers scoring in the upper and lower quartiles based on age-and gender-adjusted population norms on the impulsive Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS) of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman personality questionnaire (ZKPQ).Method-Participants completed 7-day outpatient studies examining the subjective, performance, and cardiovascular effects of d-amphetamine (0, 7.5, and 15 mg/70 kg, p.o.) under double-blind conditions according to a randomized block design. Performance tasks included behavioral measures of impulsivity, including attention, inhibition, and risk-taking behavior.Results-No differences in baseline performance or d-amphetamine effects on measures of attention, inhibition, and risk-taking behavior were observed. High impulsive sensation seekers
