Summary Cruising can be defined as an activity where subjects look for sex in public spaces and is usually called cruising for sex. Authors like Humphrey and Delph emphasize that non-verbal communication, such as eye contact, body language, way of walking, etc., is used to make first contacts that eventually lead to sex. Despite the sexuality of cruising, authors like T. Dean or Turner note that besides public sex, cruising also defines a way of life or indicates a pastime. When discussing cruising, T. Dean emphasizes that contacts, superficial conversations and a playful relaxing atmosphere are characteristic to cruising. The context of cruising not only involves pleasing sexual impulses but also focuses on hospitality and friendliness towards strangers. It notes that this practise is used to establish contacts, engage in a meaningless conversation and start relations for the goal of pleasure, however the identity ego remains free. Furthermore, cruising for sex is often considered to be a negative activity for immoral behaviour in public and the risk to contract sexually transmitted diseases. Men who cruise often stigmatize themselves and assign deviational meanings to cruising. Contacts established while cruising as an open and an unregulated activity are managed entirely by pleasure produced by playfulness of randomness.

Non-verbal communication is a process of communication where the message is conveyed not by using words. For example, only by using gestures, body language, facial expressions and eye contact, the use of objects such as clothing, haircuts and so on, symbols and ways of speaking such as intonation, emphasis, sound quality, emotional style and speaking style. Even so, experts in the field of non-verbal communication usually use the definition of "not using words" with katat, and do not equate non-verbal communication with non-verbal communication. For example sign and written languages ​​are not considered non-verbal communication because they use words, while intonation and speaking style are classified as non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is also different from talking classified as non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is also different from subconscious communication, which can be verbal or non verbal communication. In this case the most common is the use of clothing, where people are often judged by the type of clothing they use, although this is considered wrong for stereotypes. For example, people often prefer other people who have interesting ways of dressing. Also in job interviews someone who is dressed attractively is more likely to get a job than those who are not.

Singer’s concept of syndemic, which signifies the combined presence of two or more diseases within a population, where these diseases represent the consequences of the way of life or living conditions of the population in question, is applied to intravenous drug use in Belgrade. The diseases which are taken into account are HIV/AIDS, HCV, pulmonary diseases and sexually transmitted diseases. It is shown that the circumstances which are inherent to the milieu of intravenous drug use, and which otherwise influence its formation, also influence the development of syndemics within it, or rather its establishing as a factor of the syndemic, the major epidemiological basis of which is constituted by HCV.
