Résumé : | Circuit parties are often themed events attended by thousands of participants, largely gay men. They are held in various locales throughout the United States and originally served as fundraising venues for HIV nonprofit organizations. In this article, Steven P Kurtz and James A. Inciardi describe the subculture of circuit parties and the role of crystal methamphetamine within these settings. The study presented here drew on survey data collected from gay men attending a well-known circuit party in Miami, Florida. Additional data were collected through focus groups of gay men who had used crystal methamphetamine. The results showed that a large number of men had used the drug and that polydrug use was common. Focus group data described the price and availability of crystal methamphetamine. The authors conclude with a discussion of the strengths and drawbacks of different interventions. |
