Abstract

This secondary analysis of cross-sectional baseline data from an intervention trial study examines demographics, sexually transmitted infection (STI) history, substance use and sexual risk behaviors among young adult nightclub participants who do (n = 79) and do not (n = 419) frequent "strip" or adult entertainment clubs (AECs) in Miami, Florida. AEC patrons were older, and more likely to identify as Black race and report STI history. Compared to those who do not, AEC patrons also reported greater recent (past 90-day) frequencies of alcohol and ecstasy use, higher numbers of recent sex partners and were more likely to report recently being high during sex a majority of the time. Increased HIV/STI prevention efforts among young adult AEC patrons appear warranted.
