“…Considering that the literature suggests that IDUs attended by SEP have greater rates of service utilization than others, including greater adherence to treatments 2,5,11,12,14,32 , it may be supposed that in the absence of these data, this study underestimated the differences between IDUs and non-IDUs. On the other hand, the present study's sample is comparable to those described by earlier studies done with the same population 2,19,33,41,42 , reaffirming its external validity.…”

“…To evaluate HIV/ AIDS treatment health services is justified, considering the scarcity of studies on the subject 19 and the different phases of implementation of therapeutic resources and policies 6 . In addition, comparison between IDUs and non-IDUs patients can contribute to an understanding of the role of injection drug use in the utilization of HIV/AIDS healthcare services.…”

“…Los efectos de las diferentes drogas sobre el deseo y el acto sexual ha sido estudiado por diversos autores: el alcohol por Bellis y Hughes (2004), el cannabis por Poulin y Graham (2001), la cocaína por Pechansky et al (2000); el éxtasis por Capdevila (1995); las anfetaminas por Souza y Oliveira (1998); los poppers por Castro (2003) o el GHB por Fernán-dez y Hernández (2003). Muchas de estas drogas se valoran y consumen por sus efectos sobre las prácticas sexuales (Calafat, Juan, Becoña y Mantecón, 2008) y su consumo se asocia a menudo con conductas sexuales de riesgo (Bellis y Hughes, 2004) y experiencias sexuales pasajeras (Lomba, 2006).…”

The purpose of this research project was to study the relationship between drug consumption and sexual practices in teenagers in the city of Medellin, Colombia. A transversal studied was designed in order to identify the variables related to having had sexual intercourse under the effects of drugs or alcohol. The sample was made up of 955 teenagers between 14 and 17, who were in 9th, 10th and 11th grades in public and private schools in the city of Medellin. The results show that the prevalence of drug and alcohol influence in sexual intercourse is 43,67%. The most common drugs used for sexual practices are alcohol, marihuana, popper, cocaine and ecstasy. Consuming alcohol or drugs and having sexual practices shows an associated meaningful statistic (p= .001). The more common sexual practices under psychoactive substances are the exploratory ones (caresses and touching) (71%), vaginal penetration (63.67%), oral sex (45.30%) and masturbation (19.59%). Regarding the protection methods during sexual intercourse under drug or alcohol influence 55,9% always use a condom, 37,3% sometimes use it, and 6,8% never do it. This study proves what had been previously established by other research projects that show a high statistic association between drug consumption and sexual practices, but realizes that there is no statistically significant association between sexual practices under the influence of alcohol or drugs and the use or non-use of protective methods, which is the most important finding

“…Rhodes 21 , con respecto a las conductas de riesgo sexual, indica que entre las palabras «sexo» y «drogas» siempre ha habido una «y», lo cual significa que para muchos jóvenes el consumo de drogas conduce a las relaciones sexuales, pues parten de la idea de que el placer del acto sexual aumenta con el consumo de sustancias. Los efectos de las diferentes drogas sobre el deseo y el acto sexual se han estudiado a fondo: el cannabis 22 , la cocaína 23 , el éxtasis 24,25 , las anfetaminas 26 , «poppers» (nitrito de isobutilo) 27,28, y en fechas más recientes GHB 29 . Muchas de estas drogas se valoran y consumen por sus efectos sobre las prác-ticas sexuales 30 .…”

“…Rhodes 21 , referring to sexual risk behaviours, emphasizes that the words "sex" and "drugs" always seem to have an "and" between them, underlining that for many young people drug use naturally leads to sexual intercourse, with the idea that the pleasure of the sexual act increases with the use of substances. The effects of different drugs on sexual desire and performance are widely described: for cannabis 22 , cocaine 23 , ecstasy 24,25 , amphetamines 26 , 'poppers' 27,28 and, more recently, GHB 29 . Many of these drugs are valued and used for their effects on sexual practices 30 .…”

Background: Night recreational settings have become a key location for the socialisation of young people. For customers attending these places, the consumption of alcohol and drugs is related to changes in sexual decision making and associated with increased likelihood of engagement in more risky sexual behaviours. Aim: To identify the characteristics of Portuguese young people who attend nightclubs, pubs and bars; to explore relationships between attendance at these settings and the consumption of alcohol and drugs; to study associations between substance use and sexual behaviour. Methods: Respondent-driven sampling methodology was used in nine Portuguese cities to survey 1142 young people who attend nightlife leisure locations. Results: Respondents regularly go out at night, especially at weekends. The most used substances are alcohol, cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy. Alcohol and drugs users have more regular and deeply-rooted night recreation habits than nonusers and drugs consumption increases with increased recreational activities. In the last 12 months, 83.3% of the respondents have already had sexual intercourse (X = 2.0 partner; SD = 2.3), 51.0% had sex under the influence of alcohol, 22.9% under the influence of drugs and 46.7% agreed that this influence made them have unsafe sex. Early alcohol and drug use was proportionately related to an early sexual experience. Alcohol and drugs users were more likely to adopt more sexual risk behaviours than non-users. Conclusions: The enjoyment of recreational nightlife settings exposes Portuguese clubbers to environmental factors which, in combination with substance use, may influence the nature of relationships between alcohol and drug use and sexual behaviour.Key words: nightlife recreational settings, alcohol, drug use, sexual behaviour. RESUMEN ABSTRACTAntecedentes: Los ambientes recreativos nocturnos son lugares claves de la socialización de los jóvenes. Entre quienes frecuentan estos lugares, el consumo de alcohol y drogas provoca cambios en la toma de decisiones sobre relaciones sexuales y se asocia a una mayor probabilidad de practicar conductas sexuales de riesgo. Objetivo: Describir a los jóvenes que salen los fines de semana; analizar las relaciones entre el hecho de ir a dichos lugares y el consumo de alcohol y drogas; estudiar asociaciones entre consumo de sustancias y conductas sexuales. Métodos: Se utilizó la metodología del respondent-driven sampling (o muestreo dirigido por los entrevistados) en nueve ciudades portuguesas para interrogar a 1.142 jóvenes que asistieron a locales de ocio nocturno. Resultados: Los participantes salen habitualmente de noche, sobre todo los fines de semana. Las sustancias más consumidas fueron alcohol, cannabis, cocaína y éxtasis. Los consumidores de alcohol y drogas presentan hábitos recreativos nocturnos mucho más arraigados que los no consumidores, y el consumo de drogas aumenta en proporción a las actividades recreativas. En los últimos 12 meses el 83,3% de los entrevistados habían mantenido relaciones sexuales ( X ...
