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.
