摘要
The current study was designed to examine injection drug use practices (injecting drugs and needle sharing) and unprotected sexual behaviors (multiple sexual partners, failure to use a condom) among drug users in China. Data were obtained from 833 institutionalized drug users in southwest China. More than two-thirds of the sample reported frequent intravenous or intramuscular drug-injection. Among injection drug users (IDUs), 78% shared needles. Compared to non-IDUs, IDUs who also shared needles had significantly higher rates of having multiple sexual partners (73% versus 54%, p<.001) and of never having used a condom (71% versus 56%, p<.01). The data in this study suggest that IDUs comprise a high-risk population for HIV infection in China and underscore the urgency for preventing injection drug use and unprotected sexual practices among drug users in China.
