Poppers use, adherence to antiretroviral therapy and risky sexual behaviors among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in Chongqing, China

This study indicated that HIV-positive MSM commonly used poppers in the context of anal intercourse and participants who used poppers were at increased odds of reporting ART non-adherence and risky sexual behaviors. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms through which poppers use may influence these outcomes. Tailored harm reduction programs and counseling should be implemented to mitigate the use of poppers and address their potential risks.
