Crystal Meth
Use of methamphetamine (also know as meth, crystal, Tina, crank, crissy, speed, and tweek) is increasing in New York City.
Recent studies indicate that meth use may increase unsafe sex and raise HIV and STD infection rates among men who have sex
with men. In addition to the physical and psychological damage it causes, meth use often leads to compulsive sexual behaviors
that increase the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Because meth is highly addictive and may significant-
ly alter sexual behavior, it has the potential to become a more serious and widespread problem, especially with regard to
increased spread of HIV. Meth use also poses additional dangers to people already infected with HIV. Meth use often results in
an intense downward spiral of addiction, which is very difficult to treat.
