Abstract:
:The current study investigated the association between the use of recreational drugs at the time of sexual activity and high-risk sexual behavior in a Toronto cohort of 249 homosexual and bisexual men over a 5-year period commencing in 1984 to 1985 and concluding in 1989 to 1990. The main analysis was based on a total of 2536 visits. Univariate and multivariate Liang-Zeger regression models were used to relate the log of the sexual activity score (SARS) to the independent variables over the 20 follow-up visits while controlling for intercorrelations between variables from the same respondent. We found that there was a significant decline, over time, in the sexual activities that pose a higher risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus. Recreational drugs still appear to be playing an important role in the continuation of higher-risk sexual activities. The use of poppers in conjunction with sex is a strong predictor of high-risk activity, as is use of alcohol and marijuana in conjunction with sex. Also, simultaneously strongly associated with higher-risk score is the Centers for Disease Control classification II. More emphasis needs to be placed on educating the population about the potential risks of combining reactional drugs with sexual activity.
