Abstract Background Despite the leveling off in new HIV infections among men who have sex with men MSM in San Francisco new evidence suggests that many recent HIV infections are linked with the use of Methamphetamine MA . Among anonymous HIV testers in San Francisco HIV incidence among MA users was compared to among non-MA users. Of particular concern for prevention programs are frequent users and HIV positive men who use MA. These MSM pose a particular challenge to HIV prevention efforts due to the need to reach them during very late night hours. Methods The purpose of the Late Night Breakfast Buffet LNBB was to determine the feasibility and uptake of harm reduction services by a late night population of MSM. .
