Double-Feature Livestream: At the Intersection of #HIV & Meth Use

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA/NIH) 2022-11-30 | NIDA introduces two new videos. “Meth, Sex and HIV” explores NIDA-supported research on preventing and treating HIV among gay and bisexual men who use meth. “Trust, Stigma and Patient Care” provides researchers and health professionals with insights to better serve all people who use drugs in the context of their sexual health.

Sex, Meth and HIV

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA/NIH) 2022-11-28 | 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.

Trust, Stigma and Patient Care

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA/NIH) 2022-11-28 | 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—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.

Christian Gov, Ph.D., of the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health, Adam Carrico, Ph.D., of the University of Miami, and Sarit Golub, Ph.D., M.P.H., of CUNY Hunter College share insights from their NIH-supported research on caring for this population. Sime Monell, R.N., of Callen-Lorde, offers her advice on building trust, while people with lived experience at the intersection of substance use and HIV describe how meaningful support has impacted their lives.
