Alcohol exacerbates the association between partner-related issues regarding condom use and condomless anal receptive sex among young Black men who have sex with men

This study investigated whether partner-related issues among men who have sex with men (MSM) were associated with condomless anal sex and whether this was altered by alcohol or marijuana. Partner barriers were only related to receptive anal sex, and this was magnified by drunkenness, but not by marijuana. Alcohol and marijuana may interact very differently among MSM relative to their effects on partner-related barriers to condom use for anal receptive sex.
