Implication

Systematic review identifies varied methods for measuring methamphetamine use in HIV-positive populations, indicating a need for greater standardization.

Key Points

  • Inconsistent measurement methods hinder accurate assessment of methamphetamine use in people living with HIV.
  • Data from 22 studies revealed a reliance on self-report and urine toxicology, with varying reporting metrics.
  • Most studies were based in the U.S., focused predominantly on men, and lacked diversity in participant demographics.
  • Current assessment methods require standardization and improved biological validation to enhance research effectiveness.
