摘要
This paper reports on the substance use of 612 gay and bisexual men who participated in an HIV risk reduction project. Use/non-use, level of substance use, and reported frequency of use prior to sexual activity were examined in relation to number of sexual partners, sexual activities, HIV antibody test seeking behaviour and known HIV status. The use of substances among the study cohort appear to be higher than in a comparable heterosexual male group. An association was found between substance use, and both number of sexual partners and sexual activities. However, no significant difference was found in substance use between men participating in protected versus unprotected anal sex. Similarly, no significant difference was found in the reported frequency of substance use prior to sex by those participating in protected and unprotected anal intercourse. Greater drug use was reported among those who were known to be HIV antibody pisitive. These findings raise issues for further research. The high use of alcohol and drugs by gay and bisexual men may pose significant health risks for this group of men.
