“…Several studies have shown an association between drug use and sexual risk taking among MSM, particularly of the use of amphetamine type substances (Colfax et al, 2001;Garofalo, Mustanski, McKirnan, Herrick, & Donenberg, 2007). More detailed study and monitoring of the association of substance use, sexual risk taking and HIV infection in Thai MSM is therefore warranted.…”

Young men who have sex with men (MSM) are at risk for HIV infection. We investigated inconsistent condom use among 827 sexually active young MSM (15-24 years), enrolled using venue-day-time sampling in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket, Thailand. Data was collected using palmtop computer-assisted self-interviewing. Of participants, 33.1% were regular MSM, 37.7% were male sex workers (MSWs) and 29.1% were transgenders (TGs). Of MSM, 46.7%, of MSWs, 34.9% and of TGs, 52.3% reported recent inconsistent condom use. In multivariate analysis, receptive anal intercourse (MSM, MSWs), receptive and insertive anal intercourse, living alone and a history of sexual coercion (MSWs), not carrying a condom when interviewed (MSM, TGs), lower education, worrying about HIV infection and a history of sexually transmitted infections (TGs) were significantly and independently associated with inconsistent condom use. Interventions for young MSM are needed and must consider the distinct risk factors of MSM, MSWs, and TGs.

“…7,8 Behavior, mortality, and treatment have changed dramatically in 15 years. 7,8 A 2007 study 9 focusing on YMSM (aged 16-24 years) in Chicago, Illinois, confirmed associations found among older MSM. Although these data are informative, more geographically diverse data about methamphetamine use and HIV risk among YMSM are necessary to inform HIV prevention policies focused on this population.…”

“…Male-male sexual risk in the prior 6-week period was evaluated at all time points using the AIDS-Risk Behavior Assessment (ARBA) adapted for young MSM (Donenberg, Emerson, Bryant, Wilson, & Weber-Shifrin, 2001; Garofalo, Herrick, Mustanski, & Donenberg, 2007; Garofalo, Mustanski, McKirnan, Herrick, & Donenberg, 2007). Variables of interest included total number of sex partners and total number of unprotected anal sex partners, and frequencies for unprotected sex acts (anal or oral), sex (oral or anal) under the influence of alcohol/drugs, and unprotected anal intercourse under the influence of alcohol/drugs.…”

An exigent need exists for HIV prevention intervention research targeting young men who have sex with men (MSM) – a group of young adults that, despite composing the highest and most racially disproportionate rates of HIV incidence, has been least often the focus of behavioral intervention research. This pilot study tested a group-based HIV primary prevention intervention for young MSM to evaluate its initial efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability. Participants were randomized (N=101; aged 16-20 years) to one of two group-level, HIV and STI education programs: controls participated in a non-interactive, lecture-based program while intervention participants took part in a highly interactive program tailored to young MSM aged 16-20. Sexual risk and social cognitive outcomes were assessed at baseline, and 6- and 12 weeks post-intervention. Over the entire follow-up period, intervention participants were less likely than controls to engage in any sexual behavior while under the influence of substances (p<0.05), and also observed in this group was a decreasing trend of unprotected anal sex while under the influence of substances (p=.08). Follow-up differences between groups on social cognitive outcomes favored the intervention group, though these differences were non-significant. Acceptability ratings were modest. A 6-session behavioral intervention tailored to young MSM, aged 16-20, is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrates evidence of preliminary efficacy in reducing sexual risk, specifically sexual risk while under the influence of substances.
