Studies show high rates of psychiatric symptoms among methamphetamine users; however, little information exists regarding methamphetamine use and anxiety. This study investigated psychosocial and behavioral correlates of anxiety symptoms in a sample of 245 HIV-positive men having sex with men (MSM) who were enrolled in a sexual risk-reduction intervention. In a multiple regression analysis, anxiety symptoms were associated with homelessness, recent experience of HIV symptoms, injection drug use, lifetime sexual abuse, engaging in risky sexual behaviors, and seeking out partners at risky sexual venues when "high" on methamphetamine. These findings can be used to inform and refine sexual risk-reduction interventions and substance-use treatment programs for HIV-positive methamphetamine-using MSM.
研究表明,甲基苯丙胺使用者中精神症状的发生率很高;然而,关于甲基苯丙胺使用与焦虑的信息却很少。本研究调查了245名参与降低性风险干预措施的男男性行为艾滋病毒阳性者样本中焦虑症状的心理社会和行为相关因素。在多元回归分析中,焦虑症状与无家可归、近期艾滋病毒症状经历、注射吸毒、终身性虐待、从事危险性行为以及在使用甲基苯丙胺“兴奋”时在危险性性行为场所寻找伴侣有关。这些发现可用于为针对男男性行为艾滋病毒阳性甲基苯丙胺使用者的降低性风险干预措施和物质使用治疗方案提供信息并加以完善。
