Methamphetamine (meth) use among men who have sex with men (MSM) has been documented to be associated with HIV transmission among those who are HIV-negative and worsening HIV outcomes among those who are HIV-positive. Recent media reports have suggested recent increases in meth use in New York City (NYC), particularly among Hispanic/Latino and Black MSM. Using serial cross-sectional data from 2004 to 2017, we aim to describe trends in meth use and describe racial/ethnic patterns among MSM in NYC. Overall, we observed a decrease in meth use among MSM from 2004 to 2011 and an increase from 2011 to 2017. When stratified by race/ethnicity, use among White MSM decreased. Beginning in 2008, use among both Hispanic/Latino and Black MSM increased over time. These data provide more evidence that meth use may be increasing in Hispanic/Latino and Black MSM. Culturally-tailored and status-neutral interventions should be explored.

男男性行为人群（MSM）中冰毒（meth）的使用已被证实与 HIV 阴性人群中的 HIV 传播以及 HIV 阳性人群中 HIV 恶化有关。最近的媒体报道表明，最近纽约市（NYC）冰毒使用有所增加，特别是在西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非裔 MSM 中。我们使用 2004 年至 2017 年的连续横断面数据，旨在描述纽约市 MSM 中冰毒使用的趋势，并描述种族/族裔模式。总的来说，我们观察到 MSM 中冰毒使用从 2004 年到 2011 年减少，从 2011 年到 2017 年增加。按种族/族裔分层，白人 MSM 中的使用减少。从 2008 年开始，西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非裔 MSM 中的使用随着时间的推移而增加。这些数据提供了更多证据表明，西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非裔 MSM 中的冰毒使用可能在增加。应该探索针对特定文化和中性地位的干预措施。
