Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'étude a été réaliséé à partir d'interviews et de tests de 256 femmes, majoritairement noires ou hispaniques, de niveau scolaire relativement bas. Le taux de séropositivité est de 60%. En plus des pathologies retrouvées chez les homosexuels infectés par le sida, on relève de nombreuses autres infections. Les premiers facteurs de risque sont l'échange de seringues et l'injection. Une des limites de cette étude est, qu'elle ne permet pas de déterminer le moment de la séroconversion.
ENGLISH :
Beginning in January 1989, consecutive female admissions to the ARTC MMTP Clinics in NYC were interviewed about their medical, drug, sexual and social experiences. The data for 256 females was analyzed. The sample was predominantly Black (56%) and Hispanic (36%). The majority, 179 (69%), had less than a high school education. The seropositivity was 60.4%. Aside from the common types of illnesses often seen in gay men infected with the HIV virus our sample of females presented with symptoms such as abnormal discharges from the vagina, infections or abscesses of the veins, kidney or bladder infections, bleeding from the bowels and hepatitis infections. The most commonly reported risk factors were sharing injecting materials (38%) ; injecting drugs in the veins (37.2%) ; dividing an injection (24.3%). One limitation of this data is that there is no knowledge of when the HIV positive women seroconverted. (From the authors' abstract)
