Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Obiectives: To identify risks for HIV infection related to incarceration among injecting drug users in Bangkok, Thailand. Design: Case-control study of sexual and parenteral exposures occurring before, during, and after the most recent incarceration. Setting: Metropolitan Bangkok. Participants: Non-prison based injecting drug users formerly incarcerated for at least six months in the previous five years, with documented HIV serostatus since their most recent release; 175 HIV positive cases and 172 HIV negative controls from methadone clinics. Main outcome measure: Injection of heroin and metharnphetamine, sharing of needles, sexual behaviour, and tattooing before, during, and after incarceration. Results: In the month before incarceration cases were more likely than controls to have injected metamphetarnine and to have borrowed needles. More cases than controls reported using drugs (60% v 45%; P=0.005) and sharing needles (50% v 31%; P
