The authors conducted a community-based anonymous survey of 837 men who have sex with men (MSM) to gauge the extent of Viagra (sildenafil citrate) use, its association with high-risk sexual behavior, and its combination with other drugs. Participants' mean age was 35 years, 67% were white, and 66% had a college degree. The majority (76%) reported anal sex in the past 6 months, with 49% reporting always using condoms. Overall, 32% had ever used Viagra (CI: 29%-36%). Significant independent predictors of Viagra use were white race, older age, HIV positivity, illicit drug use, and having had unprotected anal sex with potentially serodiscordant partners. Over one third of Viagra users had combined Viagra with other drugs, 18% with amyl nitrate. Only a minority (44%) obtained Viagra under the care of a physician. For some MSM, Viagra appears to be an emerging contributing factor to unsafe sex, potentially increasing HIV transmission. HIV care and prevention providers should target Viagra users for enhanced education on safer sex and potentially harmful drug interactions.
作者对837名男男性行为者(MSM)开展了一项基于社区的匿名调查,以评估伟哥(枸橼酸西地那非)的使用程度、其与高危性行为的关联以及其与其他药物的联用情况。参与者的平均年龄为35岁,67%为白人,66%拥有大学学历。大多数人(76%)报告在过去6个月中有肛交行为,其中49%报告始终使用避孕套。总体而言,32%的人曾使用过伟哥(置信区间:29%-36%)。使用伟哥的显著独立预测因素包括白人种族、年龄较大、HIV阳性、使用非法药物以及与可能血清学不一致的伴侣发生无保护肛交。超过三分之一的伟哥使用者将伟哥与其他药物联用,18%与亚硝酸异戊酯联用。只有少数人(44%)在医生的指导下获取伟哥。对于一些男男性行为者而言,伟哥似乎正成为不安全性行为的一个新的促成因素,可能增加HIV传播。HIV护理和预防提供者应将伟哥使用者作为目标,加强对其进行安全性行为和潜在有害药物相互作用方面的教育。
