Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
284 toxicomanes IV, sous traitement méthadone, ont été soumis aux tests sériques de dépistage du VIH et à un questionnaire sur leur comportement sexuel. 60% d'entre eux sont séropositifs. La probabilité d'être infecté est liée à l'âge, à des pratiques de prostitution anciennes (5 ans), à l'homosexualité et à la bisexualité.
ENGLISH :
In 1986, 284 IVDUs were recruited from newly enrolled patients in methadone treatment clinics. A questionnaire asking for information on sexual behaviors was administered and sera were collected and tested by ELISA and Western Blot techniques. Associations between behavioral data and HIV serology were evaluated using univariate methods of analysis. HIV infection was significantly associated with age (p = 0,01). Subjects not claiming prostitution were also significantly more likely to be infected (p = O,O1). Subjects reporting condom use and oral sex had lower infectivity rates. Higher infection rates were observed in subjects reporting anal sex and homosexual or bisexual behavior. (Extract from author's abstract)
