Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Un questionnaire concernant les pratiques à risque a été soumis à 1233 toxicomanes fréquentant 83 centres de soins sur l'ensemble du pays. Les résultats montrent que la population interrogée fait preuve d'une mauvaise information concernant le partage d'aiguilles, l'usage du préservatif, les mesures préventives quotidiennes et les soins. Les conditions d'une bonne information sont: un haut niveau scolaire, un long usage de drogues et un contact avec les services de santé.
ENGLISH :
The study area included all of Spain and was carried out via a questionnaire assessing information about risk practices, HIV serostatus, etc, and 13 true or false questions concerning HIV-transmission knowledge. The main purpose of the present study was to analyse the relationship between the level of information found in patients and factors potentially related to it, including the practice of high-risk activities for HIV transmission, the sources of information and behaviour modification. Findings indicate that poor information was associated with the use of non-sterile needles, anal-penis sexual relations, non-use of condoms, lack of preventive measures in daily cohabitation, and lack of previous drug-dependence treatment. Determining factors of being well-informed were a high level of education, a longer duration of intravenous drug use, and contact with the Health Service as a source of information.(Extract from author's abstract)
