Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Background: Earlier studies suggest higher infection risk among recently initiated injection drug users (IDUs) than more experienced users. Whether IDUs' risky injection practices rise progressively with duration of injection or frequency of practices is higher near initiation and then taper remains an open question. Methods: Recently initiated IDUs were street recruited and interviewed between 1997 and 1999 as part of a multisite cohort study in five US urban cities. Recent risky injection practices (injecting with others and injecting on average more now) were examined across three cross-sections defined by duration of injection: 0-1 year, 2-3 years, and 4-6 years. Results: The IDU groups of
