Pilot Study of Acceptability of Bupropion Treatment for Methamphetamine Dependence Among Men Who Have Sex With Men.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Bupropion and Placebo for Substance Abuse and HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Studies demonstrate that methamphetamine (meth) use is associated with high-risk sexual behavior among MSM, putting meth-using MSM at extraordinarily high risk for transmitting or acquiring HIV. No studies have tested the feasibility and acceptability of conducting pharmacologic interventions to reduce meth use and meth-associated sexual risk behavior among MSM. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility enrolling and retaining meth-dependent MSM into a pharmacologic study of bupropion vs. placebo and measuring the tolerability of and adherence to medication among these participants.
