Temporal Relationship of Sex Risk Behaviors and Substance Use Severity Among Men in Substance Use Treatment
Sex risk behaviors and substance use are intertwined. Many men continue to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors even when enrolled in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. We hypothesized that changes in sex risk behaviors would coincide with changes in drug/alcohol use severity among men in SUD treatment. During an HIV risk-reduction trial, men in methadone maintenance and outpatient drug-free treatment (N = 359) completed assessments at basel…
Heterosexual Anal Sex Among Men and Women in Substance Abuse Treatment
Receptive anal sex has high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission risk, and heterosexual substance-abusing individuals report higher anal sex rates compared to their counterparts in the general population. This secondary analysis evaluated the effectiveness of two gender-specific, evidence-based HIV-prevention interventions (Real Men Are Safe, or REMAS, for men; Safer Sex Skill Building, or SSSB, for women) against an HIV education (HIV…
Gender Differences in Heterosexual Anal Sex Practices Among Women and Men in Substance Abuse Treatment
An HIV Prevention Intervention for Ethnically Diverse Men in Substance Abuse Treatment
Objectives. We determined the acceptability, participants' receptivity, and effectiveness of a culturally adapted version of Real Men Are Safe (REMAS-CA), an HIV prevention intervention for men in substance abuse treatment. Methods. In 2010 and 2011, we compared participants who attended at least 1 (of 5) REMAS-CA session (n = 66) with participants in the original REMAS study (n = 136). Participants completed an assessment battery at baseline and…
Reducing HIV-Related Risk Behaviors Among Injection Drug Users in Residential Detoxification
Dissolution of a harm reduction track for opiate agonist treatment
Randomized Trial of Onsite Versus Referral Primary Medical Care for Veterans in Addictions Treatment
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting for treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) often exhibit medical comorbidities that affect functional health status and healthcare costs. Providing primary care within addictions clinics (onsite care) may improve medical and SUD treatment outcomes in this population. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare outcomes among Veterans' Administration (VA) patients who receive medical care within the S…
Evaluation of a Minimal Services Treatment Track for Noncompliant Patients in Opioid Substitution Treatment
Opioid substitution treatment (OST) is the most widely used treatment for opiate dependence.1,2 The preponderance of evidence suggests that retention in OST is associated with decreased opiate use and criminality.3–5 However, continued illicit drug use among patients in OST is common.6–8 Program responses to ongoing use vary widely,9 though discharge is a frequent response. Some patients nevertheless are unable or unwilling to cease illicit use d…
Ineffectiveness of Aids education and HIV antibody testing in reducing high-risk behaviors among injection drug users
The effectiveness of education in reducing high-risk human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission behaviors was examined in 313 injection drug users. Involvement in high-risk behaviors was assessed via structured interview at study entry and 4 months following the intervention. Subjects were randomly assigned to (1) AIDS education, (2) AIDS education with optional HIV antibody testing, or (3) a wait list. The sample as a whole decreased its in…
Risk reduction in sexual behavior
Just before and 4 months after initiation of a condom giveaway program, a questionnaire regarding sexual behavior and condom acquisition was administered to 103 men attending an outpatient drug abuse treatment clinic. Jars filled with a variety of condoms were placed in every clinic room. Condom taking varied as a function of room. Sixty percent of the subjects reported taking condoms. At follow-up, clients reported increases in condom possession…
