title: Methamphetamine use and other club drug use differ in relation to HIV status and risk behavior among gay and bisexual men.
abstract: This study compared associations between methamphetamine use, drug use other than methamphetamine, and HIV transmission factors among men who have sex with men, attending an sexually transmitted disease clinic.
