Abstrakt: The article assesses the infection of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) among men having sex with men (MSM) in New York City from 2005-2010. A study was done from July 2007-December 2010 at Mount Sinai Medical Center, where respondent MSMs were provided questionnaires to answer the sexual habits and drug-use behaviors during a year before screening. The results of the research show that unprotected intercourse between male homosexuals while consuming methamphetamine caused them to be infected with HCV.
