This study examined the characteristics of gay men attending circuit parties and their drug use. In particular, the role of methylenediomethamphetamine (MDMA, "ecstasy") was considered in relation to other drug use and sexual behavior. A one-page survey was distributed to 173 men attending a circuit party. Respondents were generally gay men, Caucasian, employed, and well-educated. Twenty-five percent self-identified as HIV-positive. Eighty-six percent reported using at least one substance on the day of the party; polydrug use was frequent. The most common substances were MDMA, ketamine, and methamphetamine. MDMA use was highly associated with ketamine, methamphetamine, and cocaine use. MDMA use was also associated with significantly more receptive anal intercourse. Circuit parties are settings of increased drug use and associated high-risk sexual behavior. A better understanding of these issues is needed to develop interventions aimed at reducing drug use and sexual risk taking among gay men who attend circuit parties.
本研究调查了参加巡回派对的男同性恋者的特征及其吸毒情况。具体而言，探讨了亚甲基二氧甲基苯丙胺（摇头丸）在与其他毒品使用及性行为方面的关联。向173名参加巡回派对的男性发放了一份单页调查问卷。受访者大多为白人、有工作且受过良好教育的男同性恋者。25%的人自我认定为艾滋病毒阳性。86%的人报告在派对当天至少使用了一种毒品；多药滥用情况很常见。最常用的毒品是摇头丸、氯胺酮和甲基苯丙胺。使用摇头丸与使用氯胺酮、甲基苯丙胺和可卡因高度相关。使用摇头丸还与更多的接受肛交显著相关。巡回派对是毒品使用增加及相关高风险性行为的场所。需要更好地了解这些问题，以制定旨在减少参加巡回派对的男同性恋者的毒品使用和性风险行为的干预措施。
