HIV self-tests (HIVST) provide the possibility of testing partners prior to sexual activity. This study examines the role of substance use among men who have sex with men (n = 123) and transgender women (n = 13) who were provided HIVST to use with potential sex partners. Several reported avoiding/delaying alcohol (44%) or drug use (27%) because they intended to use HIVST. Those who used HIVST with alcohol (37%) or drugs (24%) did not differ from those who did not on number of partners asked, proportion who agreed, or intentions to use HIVST. A minority reported problems caused by substances. Ten did not ask someone to test because they were too drunk/high. Fourteen said it was fairly or very hard to use HIVST when under the influence. Eleven reported substances caused problems when discussing or administering HIVST, but only two of those felt the problems were major.
HIV 自我检测(HIVST)为性行为前检测性伴侣提供了可能。本研究调查了男男性行为者(n=123)和跨性别女性(n=13)在接受 HIVST 检测以用于潜在性伴侣时物质使用的情况。一些人报告说,他们避免/延迟饮酒(44%)或吸毒(27%),因为他们打算使用 HIVST。那些在饮酒(37%)或吸毒(24%)时使用 HIVST 的人与那些不这样做的人在被问到的性伴侣数量、同意的比例或使用 HIVST 的意图方面没有差异。少数人报告说物质使用导致了问题。有 10 人因为醉酒/兴奋而没有找人检测。14 人表示,在受影响的情况下使用 HIVST 相当困难或非常困难。11 人报告说,在讨论或进行 HIVST 时,物质会引起问题,但只有两人认为问题很严重。
