Abstract

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately impacted by HIV in the United States, and substance use and compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) are contributors to HIV risk behavior. This study sought to examine the direct and interactive effects of concurrent substance use and CSB on condomless anal sex (CAS) in a community sample of MSM (N = 200) utilizing a 90-day timeline follow-back assessment. Results indicated CSB did not directly increase risk for CAS when controlling for substance use and age. There was limited evidence for a direct effect of concurrent alcohol use on CAS, and no evidence for an interaction effect with CSB. The relationship between concurrent drug use and CAS was moderated by CSB, such that concurrent drug use was positively associated with CAS for those who screened positive for CSB, while the association was non-significant for those who screened negative. Implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.
