Study finds many
gay men use Viagra

A study in the September issue of the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases shows that gay and bisexual men commonly use the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. Researchers in San Francisco report that a telephone survey of gay and bisexual men showed that 29% recently used Viagra and that men with larger numbers of sexual partners, higher levels of unprotected anal sex, who use recreational drugs, or are HIV-positive are among those mostly likely to take Viagra. Use of the erectile dysfunction drug was not correlated to age, race, or socioeconomic status, according to the study.

"Viagra use appears to have become a stable fixture of the sexual culture of men who have sex with men, crossing age, race, and socioeconomic subgroups," the researchers conclude in their study. "Its use is associated with a general behavioral risk pattern for HIV/STD transmission." (Advocate.com)
