Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a sexual risk reduction intervention in reducing sexual risk behavior in HIV uninfected heterosexual people who use methamphetamine
Detailed Description: Methamphetamine is an addictive stimulant drug that strongly activates certain systems in the brain and can cause strong feelings of euphoria Methamphetamine use has been associated with high risk sexual practices such as unprotected anal and vaginal sex multiple sex partners and sex with partners who inject drugs These behaviors and others have led to higher rates of STD- and HIV-infections among methamphetamine users Despite the connection between methamphetamine use and high risk sexual behaviors few efforts have been made to develop and implement sexual risk reduction programs for this population Studies of risk reduction programs for at risk populations have shown that longer programs are more effective in maintaining improvements in sexual risk behaviors This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a long-term sexual risk reduction intervention in reducing sexual risk behavior among heterosexual HIV uninfected people who use methamphetamine
