“…Alcohol use was found to be associated with HIV incidence and prevalence in systematic reviews and meta‐analyses 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106. This association may have resulted, in part, from the causal impact of acute alcohol use on sexual decision‐making 107, resulting in condomless sex 105, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114.…”

Background and aimsAlcohol use is a major contributor to injuries, mortality and the burden of disease. This review updates knowledge on risk relations between dimensions of alcohol use and health outcomes to be used in global and national Comparative Risk Assessments (CRAs).MethodsSystematic review of reviews and meta‐analyses on alcohol consumption and health outcomes attributable to alcohol use.For dimensions of exposure: volume of alcohol use, blood alcohol concentration and patterns of drinking, in particular heavy drinking occasions were studied. For liver cirrhosis, quality of alcohol was additionally considered. For all outcomes (mortality and/or morbidity): cause of death and disease/injury categories based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes used in global CRAs; harm to others.ResultsIn total, 255 reviews and meta‐analyses were identified. Alcohol use was found to be linked causally to many disease and injury categories, with more than 40 ICD‐10 three‐digit categories being fully attributable to alcohol. Most partially attributable disease categories showed monotonic relationships with volume of alcohol use: the more alcohol consumed, the higher the risk of disease or death. Exceptions were ischaemic diseases and diabetes, with curvilinear relationships, and with beneficial effects of light to moderate drinking in people without heavy irregular drinking occasions. Biological pathways suggest an impact of heavy drinking occasions on additional diseases; however, the lack of medical epidemiological studies measuring this dimension of alcohol use precluded an in‐depth analysis. For injuries, except suicide, blood alcohol concentration was the most important dimension of alcohol use. Alcohol use caused marked harm to others, which has not yet been researched sufficiently.ConclusionsResearch since 2010 confirms the importance of alcohol use as a risk factor for disease and injuries; for some health outcomes, more than one dimension of use needs to be considered. Epidemiological studies should include measurement of heavy drinking occasions in line with biological knowledge.

“…Cocaine use disorder also increases risks for other health issues, including cigarette smoking, comorbid psychologic disorders, and acquiring and spreading sexually transmitted infections (Rounsaville et al, 1991;Budney et al, 1993;Van Tieu and Koblin, 2009). For example, after controlling for any history of injection drug use, the lifetime prevalence of HIV is more than 20-fold higher among current cocaine users relative to individuals not reporting current use (SAMHSA, 2014).…”

Substance use and sexual risk behaviour among HIV‐positive men who have sex with men in specialized out‐patient clinics

et al. 2012

ObjectivesUnprotected sexual intercourse between men who have sex with men (MSM) is the most common route of HIV infection in Germany. Approximately 70% of newly infected people are MSM. Substance use is a determinant of sexual risk behaviour in the general population, but also in the MSM subpopulation. There are only a few studies, from the USA, on the correlation between substance use and sexual risk behaviour in HIV-infected MSM in specialized care. MethodsIn a German sample of 445 HIV-infected MSM treated in specialized out-patient clinics, the influence of substance use on sexual risk behaviour was investigated. Information was obtained from subjects using self-report questionnaires and a structured interview. ResultsRecreational drug use was common. The prevalences of cannabis addiction (4.5%), harmful use of cannabis (4.3%) and harmful use of dissociative anaesthetics (0.4%) were higher than in the general German male population. A substantial proportion of patients reported unprotected insertive (32.9%) and receptive (34.6%) anal intercourse during the last 12 months. Use of cannabis, amyl nitrite, dissociative anaesthetics, cocaine, amphetamines and erectile dysfunction medication was significantly correlated with unprotected sexual contacts. Substance use in the context of sexual activity significantly increased sexual risk behaviour. ConclusionsSubstance use, especially in the context of sexual activity, should be taken into account when developing new prevention and intervention programmes aimed at reducing sexual risk behaviour in HIV-infected MSM currently in specialized care.Keywords: alcohol, HIV infection, illicit drugs, men who have sex with men, prevention, substance use Accepted 7 February 2012 IntroductionThe prevalence and incidence of HIV infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) are persistently high in some Western countries. Therefore, it is of importance to identify determinants of risky sexual behaviour in this group. Sexual risk behaviour, defined as unprotected receptive or insertive anal intercourse among HIV-positive MSM, was investigated in several studies. A meta-analysis of 30 studies on sexual risk behaviour among HIV-positive MSM found a prevalence of 43% for any unprotected anal intercourse. Prevalence was 30% for unprotected anal Correspondence: Prof. Dr Norbert Scherbaum, LVR-Klinikum, Hospital of the University of Virchowstr. 174, 45 147 Essen, norbert.scherbaum@uni-due.de DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-1293.2012.01005.x © 2012 British HIV Association HIV Medicine (2012 [5,6]. The consumption of psychoactive substances has been suggested to be an important factor influencing sexual risk behaviour [7,8]. Compared with the general population, MSM are a group with an increased prevalence of substance use and substance-related disorders. A metaanalytic review of studies on psychiatric disorders among MSM showed that MSM had a 1.51-fold higher risk for the 12-month prevalence of alcohol abuse and a 2.4-fold higher risk for illicit drug abuse, according to the criteria of the DSM-I...
