We examined HIV risk among heavy and nonheavy ecstasy users, focusing specifically on touch and sexual behavior as part of the ecstasy experience. Structured interviews were conducted with 268 young adult (age 18-25) ecstasy users in Atlanta, Georgia. Heavy ecstasy users were more likely to have been tested for HIV than nonheavy users (79 vs. 68%). However, they also were more likely to perceive no chance of contracting HIV (36 vs. 26%). Touch, both sensual and sexual, was a significant part of the ecstasy experience. In addition, ecstasy use seemed to increase the sexual desire, however, not the ability to achieve an orgasm. Heavy users reported more sexual risk-taking than their nonheavy using counterparts. Results suggest that the setting of ecstasy use also may influence involvement in risk behaviors. Future longitudinal studies are needed on the relationship between ecstasy use, touch, sexual arousal and ability, and risk behavior.
我们研究了重度和非重度摇头丸使用者感染艾滋病毒的风险,特别关注作为摇头丸体验一部分的触摸和性行为。对佐治亚州亚特兰大市的268名年轻成年人(年龄在18至25岁之间)摇头丸使用者进行了结构化访谈。重度摇头丸使用者比非重度使用者接受艾滋病毒检测的可能性更高(79%对68%)。然而,他们也更有可能认为自己没有感染艾滋病毒的风险(36%对26%)。无论是感官上的还是性方面的触摸,都是摇头丸体验的重要组成部分。此外,使用摇头丸似乎会增加性欲,但不会提高达到性高潮的能力。重度使用者报告的性冒险行为比非重度使用者更多。结果表明,使用摇头丸的环境也可能影响参与风险行为的程度。未来需要对使用摇头丸、触摸、性唤起和能力以及风险行为之间的关系进行纵向研究。
