Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Sur les 1245 toxicomanes intraveineux interviewés à Sydney, la moitié fait part de relations sexuelles sous l'emprise de drogues. Ceci augmente la probabilité de transmission du VIH, soit par voie sexuelle, soit par voie intraveineuse, d'autant plus qu'ils sont rarement en traitement.
ENGLISH :
Transmission of HIV by sexual contact as well as through sharing of contaminated injection equipment is a source of viral spread from injecting drug users (IDUs). We report on an analysis of data from 1,245 IDUs interviewed in Sydney, Australia. Predictors of having sex when intoxicated were a lower likelihood of having been in treatment, higher number of sexual partners, sharing injection equipment with more people and more recently, being intoxicated when injecting, and not being a sex worker. The data indicate that having sex under the influence of drugs is part of a more general lifestyle of spending a greater time intoxicated. (Extract from authors' abstract)
