Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Un groupe de toxicomanes participant aux programmes d'échange de seringue et un groupe n'y participant pas sont suivis pendant deux ans quant à leurs pratiques. Les "clients" du programme ont plus tendance à continuer leur pratique d'injection mais avec un moins grand risque d'infection . La prévalence du VIH est de 2,5%. Le taux d'échange a diminué et est plus faible qu'aux USA.
ENGLISH :
Syringe-exchange attenders (n=86) and a comparison group of injectors not attending exchanges (n=121) were recruited and interviewed in 1989 to examine HIV risk behaviour and HIV antibody status. In 1990, 59% of attenders and 50% of non-attenders were re-contacted and re-interviewed to examine changes over time. Re-interviewed subjects did not differ demographically or in drug use from those not re-interviewed. More non-attenders than attenders stopped injecting, but non-attenders who continued to inject were at a higher risk of HIV infection than attenders who continued to inject. Baseline HIV prevalence was 2,5% and there were no sero-conversions. The levels of sharing for both groups were lower than levels in the UK before HIV prevention programmes commenced and are lower than 1990 sharing rates in the USA. (Extract from authors abstract)
