title: Special report: club drugs & HIV. Drug treatment best hope for meth-using MSMs. Researchers want to get word out about problem.
abstract: New unpublished and published research show that gay and bisexual men who use methamphetamine have a greater prevalence of HIV infection than men who have sex with men who do not use the drug. This finding has led some researchers to speculate that methamphetamine use could result in a resurgence of the virus among gay men. And it highlights the need for targeted substance abuse programs directed toward MSM who use methamphetamine.
