Abstract
Background Concerns about gay men's methamphetamine use reflect its physical and psychological harms, and association with sexual-risk behaviour and HIV infection. Existing research suggests gay men's use in the UK is low and may be largely confined to London. Methods Cross-sectional survey of convenience sample of UK gay men. Results Methamphetamine was used by a significant minority of gay men in London but also in other regions. Overall, use was highest among those men aged 30–49, HIV-positive and reporting sexual-risk behaviours. Conclusion Methamphetamine was used by a significant minority of gay men in and outside London. Targeted prevention and treatment services should be developed and evaluated.
