摘要
Men who have sex with men (MSM) is a term that refers to all males who engage in sexual activity with other men. Risky sexual behaviors among MSM lead to disproportionately high prevalence rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Research has also shown that, compared to other men, MSM are at an increased risk for many mental health conditions, and at increased risk for substance abuse. This paper examines the links in MSM between substance abuse, specifically the psychostimulant drug, methamphetamine, risky sexual behaviors and approaches to preventive and primary care, as illustrated by a case study.
