Hello, AmphetaZINErs!
Although the AmphetaZINE is our feature publication for Meth Injectors, we wanted to let
Non-Injectors know that we here at NEON also offer services for Non-Injectors. In this
issue, we’ll briefly talk about ‘smoking.’
Smoking meth causes risks of tissue damage
inside the mouth, throat and lungs. These
compromise your risks with unsafe oral sex,
which exposes mucous membranes, and tissue
linings, making it easier for the HIV virus to infect.
So, always wear a condom even with oral sex.
That’s what flavored condoms and lube are for.
There’s a flavor for every taste bud. PLUS:
Drink lots of fluid, brush your teeth. For more
information, go to: http://www.crystalneon.org/
html/material/pdfs/eatdrink.pdf
Also, in this issue, we highlight a
few other important things:
✔ Scott’s summary of the Harm Reduction
Conference in Salt Lake City [Page 5]
✔ MDR HIV : the Multi-Drug Resistant form
of the HIV virus [Page 8]
✔ Tracey’s update on our Non-Injector
Peer Educators [Page 12]
✔ Chris’ compilation of local Latino
resources [Page 16]
✔ And our feature film: Rock Bottom for
cine*METH, part of the Speed, Sex & Sanity
Series [Back Cover]
We always welcome contributions: whether it’s art & poetry, rants & raves, send them our way.
Just shoot an email to arnoldm@seattlecounseling.org and we’ll go from there.
Check out Lifelong AIDS Alliance’s Intersexion program: they are looking for gay & bi men to talk
about sexual health. Call 206.957.1679 or email intersexions@llaa.org for more info.

Let’s Hear It for the Peer Educators
Iwent to the 2nd Annual Meth Conference in Salt Lake City to
present Project NEON, and along the way I was able to learn
some of the latest facts, and ideas from experts in the field.
One of the most important things is that many doctors are now saying that the worse damage
seems to be done by those people who are out their binging and using in a very unprepared and
unsafe way. In other words, those of you who are using, please listen to your smart and savvy
NEON Peer Educators.
If you are going to use meth, please make sure that you
drink plenty of water, juice or energy drinks (keeping hydrated
is very important). Make sure that you eat, even if you don’t
feel hungry, make sure that you have some healthy and
wholesome snacks on hand.
Make sure that you have clean needles, you can get
clean needles from one of your Peer Educators, and of
course there are Needle Exchange Sites that are listed in the
information page in the back of this very magazine.
Peer Educators can rest assured the most current information
coming out of the medical arena is that when your
contacts continue to use, their doctors will work with them to make sure that they can continue
to get any and all medical treatment needed as long as the doctor knows that they are using,
and as long as the contact is willing to follow advise about safety.
Sexual safety is always one of the things on top of the list. Carry condoms, (and use them),
talk with your potential partners about your and their status, and get regular STD checks at your
local community agency, or through Public Health.

A Smoking Cat by Rone`
ItÕs 1 oÕclock in the afternoonÑ
and 80 degrees in Neon City.
Peter and Mary were on their way
to visit their friend Mrs. Wilson,
who they think is losing her mind
from smoking too much speed.
There was a knock at the door.
ÒHi, kids,Ó said Mrs. Wilson. ÒGet your asses in here.
IÕve got something to tell you that you wonÕt believe!Ó
ÒReally?Ó said Peter and Mary.
ÒMrs. Wilson, are you ok?Ó asked Mary.
ÒYes. Now shut up and sit down, you two. I was
smoking myself some kick ass shit. And thoughtÑ
Wow, my pussy is feeling great!Ó
She continued, ÒSo I said to myself ÔSelf-play with it!Õ
And I did. Then I heard, ÔSmack it, bitch.Õ I thoughtÑ
who said that? So I didnÕt hear anything else. So I started
to play with myself again. Then I heard, ÔLick it.Õ I
stopped so fast, turned around and guess what?Ó
ÒWhat?Ó asked Mary & Peter.
continued…
“Lick my
pussy, bitch!”
AZ
6

ÒWell,Ó said Mrs. Wilson. ÒI saw your damn
cat laying on his back licking its lips, telling
me in a really slow soft voice to get my ass
over there and lick its pussy.Ó
ÒAnd then?Ó Peter asked.
ÒI jumped up and ran outside. And your
fucking cat told me to go and fuck myself as
it ran past me carrying my fish & chips that I
had just bought!Ó
AZ
7
ÒOh, Mrs. Wilson,Ó said Peter. ÒYouÕve been
smoking too much shit, and thatÕs why
weÕre here.Ó
ÒYouÕre losing it, woman,Ó added Mary.
ÒCome with us to the hospital.Ó
ÒWhat?!Ó yelled Mrs. Wilson. ÒIÕm not crazy.
That damn cat smokes more shit than me! ItÕs
the cat thatÕs crazy!Ó
She added, ÒWhy else would it talk to me that
way? YouÕd better go find it, and take it to
the vet before it hurts itsÕ poor self.Ó
Then Mrs. Wilson lit up her pipe, and
screamed, ÒOh, my God!Ó
ÒWhat is it?,Ó asked Mary.
ÒA piece of rock fell out of my pipe and burnt
my belly!Ó
ÒGirl, youÕre nuts!Ó said Peter. ÒYou didnÕt
stick anything in the pipe.Ó
ÒFuck you, two!Ó said Mrs. Wilson. ÒIÕm
going to call my great friendÕs under dog and
danger girl, and have them go find that nasty
cat of yours! And call Oprah, and then youÕll
see whoÕs crazy!Ó
TO BE CONTINUED...

Dear Dr. Dick,
It’s all over the newsstands and TV, and friends
from New York are talking about “MDR HIV.”
I’m freaking out!!! What gives?
Dear FOH,
—Freaked Out and Horny
I’m really glad you asked. It’s ok to be freaked out, but if we keep ourselves well-informed we
can better manage our choices. MDR HIV means “Multi-Drug Resistant HIV [Human
Immunodeficiency Virus].” These forms of the ‘HIV’ are resistant to multiple classes of anti-HIV
medications. There are 4 classes: protease inhibitors, nucleotide transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs),
non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and fusion inhibitors (which includes
just the one drug Fuseon, or T-20). These four cases were resistant to practically all of the PI
and NNRTI drugs, and to some of the NRTI drugs, meaning that it may be hard to find a treatment
that will work when these guys need treatment. I’ve asked my colleagues at Public Health
here in Seattle to help me address this concern in a more consistent message.
AZ

What does “drug resistant” mean?
There are four classes of anti-HIV drugs (also called “antiretrovirals” or “ARVs”), with several
drugs in three of the classes. When HIV meets an anti-HIV drug, it tries to survive by changing
its genetic code. Over time, the HIV virus often changes enough to get around the drug and
keep making copies of itself. When HIV can resist one drug, it can often resist other drugs in the
same class. Sometimes HIV can be “drug-resistant” to several drugs across two or more classes.
This kind of HIV is called “multi-drug resistant HIV” or “MDR-HIV.” HIV treatment is very complex,
and people with HIV must take medications on a very strict schedule. Resistance can build up if
a person does not follow this schedule or if he/she is not on the
correct treatment program.

Winter 2006
How did Public Health find out about these cases?
Seattle Public Health
Drug Resistant Strain
Since around 2000, Public Health has been looking for cases of drug resistance among people
newly-diagnosed with HIV. Two of the four cases were found during this
routine lab testing. The last two cases were found by medical providers
who then alerted Public Health.
Where did this MDR HIV come from?
There is no way to know for sure. We do not know where this strain
started (i.e., who had it first) or how many people in this network came
in contact with this strain through unprotected sex or sharing injection
equipment.
Is this a new problem?
Drug resistance is not new. Since 2000, Public Health has identified 16 total cases of multiple
class drug-resistant HIV in people recently diagnosed with HIV in King County. None of the past
12 cases looked as similar to each other as the current four. About 11% of people recently diagnosed
with HIV who haven’t started treatment have at least some high-level resistance to at
least one of the ARV drugs used for HIV. 3% have shown high-level resistance to one or more
drugs in two or more drug classes. These rates are similar to other urban areas and have not
changed locally over time. However, the current 4 cases look very similar and share many of the
same patterns of drug resistance. They are highly resistant to two ARV drug classes and
somewhat resistant to a third. Tests on the 4th class are not back yet. These viruses are
closely linked to each other and may still be in the community.
How do you know this MDR HIV is being spread?
Because the genetic make up of these four cases looks so similar, it is unlikely that each person
developed the exact same resistance pattern on his own. Also, at least three of the four cases

were recent infections. So this highly resistant strain does seem to be in the community, but we
don’t know how easily it spreads from person to person.
Why does Public Health track HIV drug resistance?
Public Health tracks HIV drug resistance among people who have not started HIV treatment. This
helps Public Health learn what kind of HIV is being transmitted, how common drug resistance is, and
which drugs might become less useful over time. This information helps medical providers prescribe
HIV therapy more effectively.
Discovers Multiof
HIV Virus
Is there more drug resistance happening?
The longer people live with HIV, the longer they are taking HIV drugs. As more people use more
HIV drugs, the chance of drug resistance increases. Over time, there will be a larger pool of
people who might have HIV that is harder to treat and who may pass HIV to others. Also,
regional testing for resistance is not comprehensive and has not been conducted steadily since
2000. There are likely to be more cases than
the ones we have been found. We are likely to
find more cases of resistance now that we are
looking harder for them.
Does this mean that people with
MDR HIV will not be able to
get treatment?
No. Some antiretrovirals may still work against
MDR HIV, but we don’t know how well they
might work. With MDR HIV, there are fewer
drugs to choose from. These options may also
be harder to use, cost more or cause more
side effects.
Does MDR HIV progress
faster to AIDS?
We do not know how quickly these virus strains will progress to AIDS. We have observed these
four cases for only a short time, which is too short to tell how their disease may progress. At
present, each of these cases is early in HIV infection and does not yet need treatment.
Can people who already have HIV get “re-infected” with MDR HIV?
Yes. People who already have one strain of HIV can get a different strain, usually within some
months of the first infection. The second strain could be drug-resistant or not. Getting MDR HIV
AZ
10

on top of existing HIV may cause current medications to stop working.
It could also limit future treatment options and impact health.
What is happening with these individuals?
Public Health is working with these individuals and their medical providers to locate and test
sexual and drug partners for HIV infection and drug resistance.
What Should I Do?
If you are a medical provider:
✔ Conduct genetic drug resistance testing in all patients with newly-identified HIV.
Report all cases of multi-drug resistant HIV to Public Health.
If you are HIV-negative or have not tested in the last 6 months:
✔ Use condoms every time you have sex.
✔ Use your own drug injection equipment.
✔ Ask sex and drug partners about their HIV status. Find out your current
status and share that with your partners.
✔ Get tested regularly for HIV. How often is that?:
Every 3 months for gay and bisexually active men who:
• Have had anal sex without a condom with a man who has HIV or whose
HIV status is unknown.
• Have recently had a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
• Use methamphetamine.
• Once a year for other people at sexual or drug-related risk for HIV
(i.e., people who inject drugs, have STDs, or have multiple sex partners).
If you are living with HIV:
✔ Use condoms every time you have sex, even if your partner has HIV too!
✔ Use your own drug injection equipment.
✔ Share your HIV status with sex or drug partners. Ask them about their status.
✔ Find out if you have drug resistance before starting treatment or
if your anti-HIV drugs don’t seem to be working.
✔ Take your medications on schedule. If that’s hard to do,
talk to your doctor about options.

tested for HIV, call the HIV/STD Hotline Monday–Friday, 9am–4pm:

Tracey’s Tips & Tricks
Hey Tweaksters,
Been too long honeys’. I’d like to give you all a heads up on a new
program here at NEON. We at NEON are proud to announce a
sweetly solid start to our new(ish) harm reduction team. The NON-
INJECTOR PEER team YEE HAW!!!
These fab-u studs are throwing out some hardcore news, helpful
hints, oral care kits, and a ton of lube and condoms…specifically
for those party loving guys who don’t slam (aka inject) Meth.
Look for these guys at parties, bath
houses, parks, and clubs wearing
our fashion-tabulous NEON hoodies
and shirts. This loud and knowledge
filled team of guys can throw some
serious skill... and the real 411 on all
kinds of Meth & Sex facts.
So, if you’re a guy wanting to step
back from points. A guy who
bumps, snuffs, puffs, or swallows
your party girl Tina. Step up and give a fair listen to your Peer
brothers for all you Non-Injector guys.
In upcoming AmphetaZINE’s we’ll be introducing the guys in the
Non-Injector team.

“Cautionary…disturbing…remarkable candor.
Jay Corcoran has never shied away from painful
and politically touchy aspects of gay male sexuality.”
GAY MEN AND METH
ROCK BOTTOM follows the journeys of
seven gay men struggling with meth addiction
and recovery against a backdrop of an emerging
second wave of HIV infection. From grappling
with the drug’s effects on their physical and
mental health to wrestling with their darkest
sexual desires, ROCK BOTTOM delivers a
chilling portrait of a community in crisis. With
an unflinching eye the film captures their
stories over a two-year period, from sex clubs
a film by Jay Corcoran
61 minutes, Color, USA, 2006
to hospitals to family gatherings. It takes
enormous courage to face these demons, and
even more to allow the world to watch. For
anyone struggling with meth addiction, or
anyone trying to help someone in trouble,
ROCK BOTTOM will offer hope that change
can happen, and insight into how change
begins. For anyone thinking they can play with
meth and not get caught up, the film will be a
cautionary tale of how wrong they might be.
