目的：我们检查了人口统计数据和在同性恋巡回派对中使用的俱乐部药物，并估计了与每种药物相关的不安全性行为报告，参加巡回派对的原因，以及与不同原因相关的不安全性行为。方法：对1998-1999年北美三个主要同性恋巡回派对的非随机参与者进行问卷调查，调查内容包括人口统计学、药物使用、性行为和参加原因。共获得可用问卷1169份。计算了被调查药物（酒精、大麻、亚甲基二氧甲基苯丙胺（摇头丸）、氯胺酮（Special K）、甲基苯丙胺（冰毒）、可卡因、挥发性亚硝酸盐（罂粟花）和γ -羟基丁酸盐（GHB））的不安全性行为的优势比，以及不安全性行为对参加派对的10个主要原因的重要性。结果：12个月的派对毒品使用率很高：50%的人报告使用酒精、摇头丸和特殊K.频繁（而不是偶尔）使用摇头丸、特殊K.和poppers与派对上不安全的性行为有关。Poppers也显示出与12个月内不安全性行为的显著关联（不一定是在派对上），而冰毒和GHB则显示出趋势。参加巡回派对是为了“看起来和感觉良好”。“发生性行为”和“不受约束和狂野”与12个月内较高的不安全性行为水平相关。暗示：在这个例子中，巡回派对的参与者受过良好的教育，经济上有保障。派对毒品使用率很高。使用罂粟花、摇头丸、Special K、冰毒和GHB似乎与各种不安全性行为有关。需要对男同性恋者在俱乐部吸毒进行更全面的研究。(C) 2001爱思唯尔科学公司版权所有。
Purpose: We examined the population demographics and club drugs used in gay circuit parties and estimated the reported unsafe sexual behavior associated with each drug, the reasons for attending circuit parties, and the unsafe sex associated with different reasons. Methods: A brief questionnaire was provided to a nonrandom sample of party attendees covering demographics, drugs used, sexual activity, and reasons for attending gay circuit parties at three major North American parties in 1998-1999. A total of 1169 usable questionnaires were obtained. Odds ratios for unsafe sex for the drugs surveyed [alcohol, marijuana, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Ecstasy), ketamine (Special K), crystal methamphetamine (crystal meth), cocaine, volatile nitrites (poppers), and gamma -hydroxybutyrate (GHB)] were calculated, as was significance of unsafe sex for the 10 major reasons for attending parties. Results: 12-month party drug use was high: > 50% reported using alcohol, Ecstasy, and Special K. Frequent (rather than occasional) use of Ecstasy, Special K. and poppers had an association with unsafe sex at parties. Poppers also showed a statistically significant association with unsafe sex in 12 months (not necessarily at parties) while crystal meth and GHB showed a trend. Attending circuit parties "to look and feel good." "to have sex," and "to be uninhibited and wild" were associated with higher levels of unsafe sex in 12 months. Implications: In this sample, circuit party attendees are well educated and financially secure. Party drug use is high. It appears that use of poppers, Ecstasy, Special K, crystal meth, and GHB are associated with various measures of unsafe sex. More comprehensive research on club drug use in gay men is required.
