Meth users often abandon safe sex practices, which puts them at greater risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Gay men who use crystal meth are three times more likely to test positive for HIV than non-users. But the use of the drug is not exclusive to the gay community. In a 2005 survey, 58 % of US counties reported meth as their greatest drug problem. At one time exclusive among Caucasians, meth is now spreading into minority communities.
