HIV and other sexually transmitted infection rates are increasing among men who have sex with men. This increase may be attributed to the high rates of drug use and risky sexual behaviors at gay festive events called circuit parties. Although few studies have examined the actual level of risk, the implications from the available studies underscore the need for the development of interventions to address this public health concern. The 5 As approach provides an evidence-based approach to assist in behavior change that may reduce the HIV and sexually transmitted infection rates among gay and bisexual men who attend circuit parties. This article reviews the findings and recommendations from the few available studies on circuit parties and risk behavior. The authors propose that the 5 As approach for behavioral change be adapted by practitioners in the primary care setting.

As part of an interview-based study of gay circuit parties in Montreal, Canada, which involved 17 gay and bisexual men, it was noted that participants were preoccupied with the topics of indulgence and restraint, particularly in relation to their perceptions of social norms regarding acceptable sexual behaviors. Theoretically, these findings were examined from a post-structuralist perspective using Nietzsche’s conceptualization of the ascetic ideal. The outcome of this analysis is an alternative conceptualization about the intersections between indulgence, pain, guilt, pleasure, and sexually transmitted infection.
