Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude démontrant la totale absence de précautions dans la relation féminine homosexuelle, par rapport au risque de transmission sexuelle du sida soit par fatalisme, soit par méconnaissance du risque dans une relation lesbienne généralement monogame.
ENGLISH :
Thirty-eight percent of a random sample of 39 female IVDUs disclosed recent homosexual behavior. The women were interviewed in jail, but their homosexual relationships were formed and occurred primarity outside of jail. These bisexual women were more likely to share needles and works than the heterosexual women, placing themselves and others at higher risk of HIV transmission; their sexual partners were usually other IVDUs. No precautions were being taken to prevent possible female-to-female sexual HIV transmission. Failure to take precautions against AIDS may be attributable to unjustified feelings of "safety" in often serially monogamous homosexual relationships, as well as sheer fatalism about HIV infection.
