Abstract
Sexualised injecting drug use (‘SIDU’) is a phenomenon associated with a wide array of high-risk injecting and sex-related practices. This review establishes what is known about Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and SIDU to assess implications for health care and policy. The Levac, Colquhoun & O’Brien, (2010) scoping review methodology was employed for the purposes of the search. Characteristics of MSM for ‘SIDU’ appear to include being on anti-retroviral treatment and urban residency with drivers being challenging social taboos; a search for intimacy; convenience of administration; relationship breakdown and increased restrictions in clubs and saunas. Attraction for use appears to be enhancement or prolongation of sexual experiences/ pleasure; intimacy and the facilitation of a range of potentially ‘unsafe’ sexual activity. Traditional services are ill-equipped to address ‘SIDU’ because of a lack of knowledge of practices, lack of associated vocabulary and a failure to integrate sexual health with drug services. For effective responses these issues need to be addressed.
