We describe drug use patterns, then identify three discrete groups determined by intensity of recent (past 6\u2009months) sexual practice: no recent sex, recent sex and recent sexualised drug use. We examine factors associated with these groups and identify factors independently predicting sexualised drug use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 739 participants, almost a third had engaged in group sex (29%), 17.5% were taking pre\u2010exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), 6.5% were HIV positive. Overall, 59.5% had recently used illicit drugs (16.9% methylenedioxymethamphetamine, 6% methamphetamine, 3.3% gamma\u2010hydroxybutyrate acid, 1.4% ketamine). Sexualised drug use was common (35.7%). Those engaged in sexualised drug use were connected to gay community and had a high uptake of biomedical HIV prevention. Independent predictors of sexualised drug use included being sexually adventurous, knowing their HIV status, having more than 10 recent sexual partners, engaging in group sex and sex at a sex\u2010on\u2010site venue.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Many GBM engaging in sexualised drug use manage HIV transmission risks through regular testing, PrEP and HIV treatment.
