AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between alcohol and drug use among male sex workers in Australia and the associated safety outcomes of sexual encounters. It identifies trends in substance consumption and its potential impact on safe sex practices, emphasizing the need for updated understandings of risk factors in this demographic due to changing societal attitudes, particularly in the context of the AIDS pandemic. The findings reveal complex interactions between substance use and sexual behavior, suggesting that while substance use may correlate with unsafe practices, it does not necessarily serve as a direct causal factor.
