Not that there's anything wrong with
taking methamphetamine or ecstasy to lose your inhibitions and erection, Then take Viagra to get the erection back again so that you can pork/be porked by a stranger(s) for ten days straight; who, like you, have had unsafe sex with with an average of 18 guys in the last two months. It's not like that would lead to a dramtic upsurge in HIV or other sexually transmitted disease, or anything.
And of course, if it does, it's only because there is no FDA label warning you not to use meth with your viagra.
Sex drugs called avenue to HIV - The Boston Globe:
Indeed.
Dr. Jeffrey D. Klausner of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, however, wants to FDA to step in and relabel, and "educate" gay men about the risks of using viagra with meth. Personally, don't think education is the problem at all.
Unwillingness to check obviously self-destructive behaviour is not caused by lack of labels or lack of a targeted advertising campaign by the makers of viagra and Cialis. These are men deliberately seeking out a way to get rid of any sensible inner voice telling them to cool it. Don't make viagra harder to get for men who want and need it. Don't waste money trying to reach people who don't want to be reached.

Sex drugs called avenue to HIV - The Boston Globe:
"WASHINGTON -- Richard Gallo's experience is shared by thousands of men who sometimes find other men through e-mail messages that read: ''Do you want to PNP?' It stands for ''party and play.' To party, they take crystal methamphetamine, which reduces inhibitions but also their ability to have sex. To play, they pop Viagra at the same time. Gallo, a 28-year-old Boston resident, said he had many such sexual encounters"
''As far as FDA and labeling is concerned, a lot of this is really, really off-label," [Dan Shames, director of the FDA's division of reproductive and urologic drugs] said."
