“…Hence, Meth-pretreated males did not have impaired associative memory or reduced sensitivity to LiCl or LiCl-induced illness. It appears that Meth pretreatment caused maladaptive or compulsive sex seeking, despite learned negative consequences, which is in line with human reports (Frosch et al, 1996;Halkitis et al, 2001;McKirnan et al, 2001;Rawson et al, 2002;Somlai et al, 2003;Green and Halkitis, 2006;Springer et al, 2007).…”

Methamphetamine (Meth) users report having heightened sexual pleasure, numerous sexual partners, and engaging in unprotected sex due to loss of inhibitory control. This compulsive sexual behavior contributes to increased prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, but the neural basis for this is unknown. We previously established a paradigm for compulsive sexual behavior in male rats in which visceral illness induced by lithium chloride was paired with sexual behavior (

“…Lifetime meth use in this sample of pregnant AI teens was up to 3 times higher than among previous national samples of AI/AN adolescents (Oetting et al, 2000) and approximately 5 times higher than U.S. All Races adolescents (Springer, Peters, Shegog, White, & Kelder, 2007;Johnston et al, 2006). Past-month use of meth (2.5%) was double past-month use in comparable samples of U.S. All Races youth (Iritani, Hallfors, & Bauer, 2007 fi nding is consistent with another large prospective study of western AI adolescents, which showed that initiation of marijuana use prior to alcohol use increased the risk of substance use progression (Novins & Barón, 2004).…”

“…21,22 Other methamphetamine-associated sexual risks include being pregnant or getting someone pregnant 23 and early age of sexual debut. 24 Girls also appear to have more psychiatric problems related to methamphetamine use than boys, 25 and greater treatment-seeking for methamphetamine. 26 The limited research on methamphetamine use among incarcerated adolescents has shown high rates of use among this population.…”

Juvenile detention settings provide an important venue for addressing the health-related needs of adolescent populations, who often have high rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and concomitant drug use. This study examines factors associated with methamphetamine use and risky sexual behaviors among 539 incarcerated female adolescents between ages 12-18 years with an STD diagnosis. Data were obtained from interviews with detainees receiving STD case management services within a California juvenile detention facility in January 2006-June 2007. High-risk behaviors characterized the sample, such as low use of condoms consistently (43.3%), prior STD infection (25%), pregnancy history (26%), arrest charge for prostitution or drug use (23%), and a history of prostitution (18%). Half of the sample reported weekly alcohol or drug use; most commonly used drugs were marijuana (37%), alcohol (21%), and methamphetamine (16%). In multivariate analysis, African Americans had a lower odds of methamphetamine use (odds ratio [OR]=.163) compared with whites. Detainees who reported inconsistent condom use had over twice the odds of methamphetamine use (OR=2.7) compared with consistent condom users. In addition, those who reported alcohol use had twice the odds of methamphetamine use (2.0). There was a significant interaction between Latina ethnicity and having an arrest charge for drugs or prostitution; Latinas who had this charge had over 11 times the odds of using methamphetamine compared with those with other arrest charges (OR=11.28). A better understanding of the relationship between drug use and sexual risk behaviors of STD-positive incarcerated female adolescents can inform the development of appropriate corrections and community-based interventions serving this segment of high-risk adolescents.

Methamphetamine Use and Sexual Risk Behaviors in U.S. High School Students: Findings from a National Risk Behavior Survey

Abstract: Findings indicate that a substantial number of U.S. youth have used methamphetamine, that white and Hispanic high school students may be at higher risk for methamphetamine use, and that methamphetamine users may be at higher risk for engaging in sexual risk behaviors.
