  Unlike Folger, some gay men obtain erectile dysfunction drugs without a prescription to combat the impotence that comes with using crystal meth, according to Dr. Charlotte Kent, chief of epidemiology in the STD prevention and control division of the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
  
  Dubbed "crystal dick," the meth-induced impotence "provides motivation for people to take something to compensate for the dysfunction that occurs," Kent says.
  
  Charles, who asked that his last name not be published, suffered from impotence during the months he spent addicted to crystal meth, and he took Viagra to compensate, he says.
  ...
  "Where it is primarily a problem is when people are using meth," Kent says."That's where we see the biggest risk factor."
  
  Specific results from the study weren't available because it has not yet been published.But gay men who had sex while under the influence of both crystal meth and Viagra were several times more likely to contract syphilis and HIV, Kent says.

  "I think that overall, [jail] detection screening is going to find some of your highest rates of STDs anywhere in your community," said Charlotte Kent, MPH, chief of the epidemiology unit for the San Francisco STD Control program of the city's Health Department.
  
  In San Francisco, males and females who come into youth detention are offered screening for chlamydia within 12 hours, Kent said.Gonorrhea screening is offered only to females, because prevalence of the disease in area males is low.If detainees are released before STD results are available, disease intervention specialists (DIS) follow up with them in the community and try to confirm they have been treated, either by a clinic or a private provider.The DIS also provide field-delivered therapy, meeting detainees who have been released and giving them antibiotics."Between people being treated while they're still incarcerated and the work of our staff, we're able to get about 85 percent of the people who are positive treated," Kent said.
