A positive drug test was associated with a 96 % increase in the odds of being food insecure (95 % CI 1\u00b726, 3\u00b707). Compared to those with high food security, individuals with very low food security have a nearly sevenfold increase in the odds of reporting depressive symptoms (95 % CI 3\u00b771, 11\u00b792). Findings showed 14\u00b79 % of the association between drug use (exposure) and depressive symptoms (outcome) can be explained by FI (mediator).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980021002494_as6\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of FI among this cohort of HIV-positive and high-risk HIV-negative MSM was high; the association between drug use and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by FI.
