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.

One 2020 study found as many as 1 in 3 new HIV transmissions among sexual and gender minorities involve people who regularly use methamphetamine—yet research shows that people who use meth may face barriers to accessing HIV prevention and treatment tools.
In this video for health care professionals, HIV advocate and artist Ken Williams seeks to learn more about research at the intersection of methamphetamine use and HIV—and about the atmosphere of health care available to gay and bisexual men.

“Harm reduction” is defined as interventions aimed to help people avoid negative effects of drug use, but many understand harm reduction as a way to meet people where they are with kindness and respect. In this video, we hear from people who use drugs, people who are in recovery, and harm reduction professionals on what harm reduction is (and isn’t) in their own words.
