Our aim with this qualitative study was to understand the role of personal values, meaning, and impact of drug use among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) who struggle with methamphetamine use. Participants were 22 MSM recruited from an ethnically diverse county in the San Francisco Bay area of California. Grounded theory was used to analyze the data collected in individual interviews. Emergent constructs of context, meaning, and perceived impact were identified and are described in a theoretical narrative format. The importance of broadening our understanding of HIV and methamphetamine addiction and their interaction is highlighted. This study contributes to the understanding of the complexity of methamphetamine use within the specific population of MSM living with HIV/ AIDS, and suggests possible directions for addressing important maintaining factors like adaptive use and enhancing factors that could contribute to an individual's ability to make better choices based on meaning and personal values.
我们开展这项定性研究的目的是了解个人价值观、意义以及吸毒对感染艾滋病毒的男男性行为者（MSM）中那些有甲基苯丙胺使用问题者的影响。参与者是从加利福尼亚州旧金山湾区一个种族多样的县招募的22名男男性行为者。采用扎根理论分析在个人访谈中收集到的数据。识别出了情境、意义和感知影响等新出现的结构，并以理论叙述的形式进行了描述。强调了拓宽我们对艾滋病毒和甲基苯丙胺成瘾及其相互作用理解的重要性。本研究有助于理解在感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的男男性行为者这一特定人群中使用甲基苯丙胺的复杂性，并为解决诸如适应性使用等重要维持因素以及增强有助于个人基于意义和个人价值观做出更好选择能力的因素提供了可能的方向。
