Condom use among gay/bisexual male substance abusers using the timeline follow-back method

Article Abstract:

Men practicing unsafe anal sex after consuming alcohol and drugs generally do not have a college education, have an income less than $20,000, have a higher frequency of anal sex, and use amyl nitrite and cocaine. Such men have a low preference for sex without love and are unconcerned about practicing safe sex. The timeline follow-back method is used to estimate the relation between alcohol and drug use, and sexual behavior. For various sexual events, the method is used to analyze the varying sexual behaviors and substance use.
