• Description:
  Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV. MSM comprise roughly 2% of the US population, yet approximately two-thirds of new HIV infections are among MSM (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). Additionally, significant racial and ethnic disparities exist with respect to HIV transmission among MSM. Based on the current HIV diagnoses rates in the US, about 1 in 2 African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM), 1 in 4 Latino MSM (LMSM) and 1 in 11 white MSM will be diagnosed with HIV during their lifetime (Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2016a). In general, substance-using MSM are among the groups with the greatest risk for HIV infection (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011; Margolis, Joseph, Hirshfield, et al., 2014; Pines, Gorbach, Weiss, et al., 2014; Plankey, Ostrow, Stall, et al., 2007); nearly a third of incident HIV infections among MSM may be associated with non-injection drug use (Mansergh et al., 2008; Van Tieu & Koblin, 2009). Substance-using sexual minorities are more likely to underutilize substance use treatment (McCabe, Bostwick, Hughes, West, & Boyd, 2010) and may be an HIV transmission bridge to non-drug-using populations (Lambert et al., 2011).
