This is an observational analysis of a longitudinal cohort of predominantly Black\/Latino MSM in Los Angeles. Every six months from August 2014 to January 2018, participants received STI screening and surveys evaluating lubricant use, douching, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors. General estimating equations evaluated the association between consistent lubricant use and douching for RAI with positive rectal Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and\/or syphilis (positive STI). Among 313 participants across 552 study visits, 16.5% (91\/552) had positive STI. Consistent lubricant use was reported in 52.7% (243\/552) and rectal douching in 57.6% (318\/552) of study visits. Consistent lubricant use was associated with STI diagnosis (adjusted OR [AOR] 1.81; 95% CI 1.11\u20132.96; p\u2009=\u20090.018). Each episode of rectal douching before RAI was associated with 2% increased odds of positive STI (AOR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00\u20131.04; p\u2009=\u20090.041). Among this cohort of HIV-positive and high-risk HIV-negative MSM, lubricant use and douching was common and independently associated with an STI, suggesting the utility of prevention messaging around barrier methods\/condoms for sexual encounters involving douching\/lubricant use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462420938485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,5]],"date-time":"2020-08-05T02:44:28Z","timestamp":1596595468000},"page":"1040-1046","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Lubricants
