Differentially classified methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men: A latent class analysis

Methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men (MSM) are at increased risk for HIV (Warburton et al., 2000; Avants et al., 2000; Colfax et al., 2005; Gorman et al., 2004). The U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy highlights the importance of substance use prevention and treatment as a critical component in reducing HIV incidence in the United States (ONAP, 2016). Substance use prevention and treatment interventions have found success in combining motivational interviewing or contingency management with cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce risk behavior (Avants et al., 2004; Rawson et al., 2004; Shoptaw et al., 2005; Schumacher et al., 2007; Garfein et al., 2010; Lim et al., 2015; Rice, 2016; Lea et al., 2017).
