AIDS: Recreational drug use is linked to infectious disease transmission among gay men. A review of the literature on substance use and sexual behavior divided the research into three categories: studies that relate sexual behavior to global measures of drug use; studies that look within groups of gay men at drug use behavior in the sexual context; and studies that look at sexual episodes among individual cases to determine whether the use of specific drugs lead to specific sexual activities. The evidence for a direct association between substance use and increased risk of HIV infection among susceptible gay men is incontrovertible. Simple associational models demonstrate the ways in which the pairing of sex and drug use create a learned association between these activities. The drug-sex relationship may also be mediated by personality characteristics, such as sensation-seeking. Interventions targeting gay men must combine community interventions and individual or small group intervention approaches.^ieng
