Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
A partir des statistiques nationales, analyse du statu quo de l'information et des comportements liés au sida. Il résulte que cette information a bien pénétré les milieux des toxicomanes intraveineux, les mieux informés étant ceux qui ont participé à des programmes de traitement de la toxicomanie. Les auteurs espèrent donc, à travers ces programmes, un changement important des comportements et, en conséquence, une meilleure prévention du sida.
ENGLISH :
Analyses of HIV-1 and AIDS knowledge demonstrated virtualy no differences by HIV-1 antibody status or awareness of their serostatus at baseline, with the exception that those aware of their status were less likely to be hopeless in dealing with the problem. While few consistent differences were found between drug use behaviors and knowledge, IVDUs who reported having been in drug treatment were systematically better informed as to routes of transmission and prevention methods. However, those with a history of treatment were also more likely to see themselves at higher risk of acquiring HIV-1 than those who did not have this history. The data demonstrate that basic knowledge about HIV-1 has diffused to the IVDU community. (Extract from author's abstract)
