- This video is part of the NIDA series At the Intersection: Stories of Research, Compassion, and HIV Services for People who Use Drugs.
One 2020 study found as many as 1 in 3 new HIV transmissions among sexual and gender minorities involve people who regularly use methamphetamine. NIDA supports research to better understand why people who use meth may be more likely to experience poor HIV outcomes and to discover effective ways to prevent and treat HIV in this population.
In this video, HIV advocate and artist Ken Williams speaks to Christian Gov, Ph.D., of the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health, and Adam Carrico, Ph.D., of the University of Miami, about their NIDA-supported research on preventing and treating HIV among sexual minority men who use meth. Sarit Golub, Ph.D., M.P.H., of CUNY Hunter College, and people with lived experience at the intersection of substance use and HIV also share their insights on the ways stigma and other factors can impact access to HIV services.

I've been witnessing my neighbor go from a newly divorced single Dad who's kids often visit, to him keeping a weird schedule and acting rather erratic. I am 100% sure he's involved with other guys who likely got him hooked on crystal meth. All the signs are there. I've tried talking to him a couple times now, and offering support so he can get back to a normal life again. But, he wants no part of it. You can't help someone unless they want it. Breaks my heart. He's a good looking, middle-aged man with a great job. He's now starting to look the part, it's pretty sad. I don't expect him to be able to hold his job in the near future. That's when he's likely gonna fall down that rabbit hole and be irretrievable.
Well maybe if he stayed with his wife and lived a normal lifestyle he wouldn't be in this mess. And this kind of use goes with the lifestyle. It's the path he chose.
@@SurprisedPika666 yeah just keep shaming and blaming, that definitely helps.
@sideemailaccount7863 there are tons of gay men that don't use meth. I disagree with your use of the term normal lifestyle especially considering more heterosexual people are abusing drugs etc. When yall stop stigmatizing, abusing, and robbing LGBTQ people of their childhoods, then you will see improvement.
@@kylepatterson9389 Who else is to blame for his poor decision making!? You have a problem with taking responsibility and accountability!?
So glad to see this video, the dissemination of the reasons and stigma of chemsex and affirming the human element of care and recovery.
What is this organization. It sounds great . Just a lot of the videos are really short .
Keep going
