Men who had used crystal meth in the last four weeks<br />

were most likely to have been to a private sex party,<br />

with 21% having attended one in the past week and 46%<br />

in the last four weeks. This compares with 2% and 7%<br />

respectively among men who had not used these drugs.<br />

These data suggest that crystal meth in particular in<br />

associated with sex at private house parties. However,<br />

crystal meth users were more likely to have recently<br />

used gay cafes, bars and pubs than they were to have<br />

attended a private sex party.<br />
