Résumé : |
The objective of this review is to carry out a review of published and grey literature on the evidence of injecting and non-injecting stimulant use (particularly crack, cocaine and ATS) and their possible link to HIV, HCV & HBV vulnerability and transmission. To identify:
- The extent of HIV, HCV and HBC infection among stimulant users; - Specific subgroups of stimulant users at greater risk of HIV, HCV and HBV infection; - Temporal and geographical patterns of HIV, HCV and HBV infection among stimulant users. Summary of findings: - It is difficult to quantify the exact role of stimulant use in increasing HIV infection. - Evidence seems to point towards a positive association between these two factors. - There is great variability on the outcomes possibly due to local epidemiology and studies' differences. - Groups at risk: Injecting and non-injecting stimulant users MSM and sex workers. - Stimulant injectors seem to be at particular great risk of HIV-infection (when compared to non-IDU) and seem to engage in more injecting risk behaviours than other IDUS. - Sex risk behaviour is also prevalent and significantly associated with stimulant use (ATS and crack). - Mediator factors should be taken into count: impulsivity, social support access to clean needles. - There might be structural, social, interpersonal and personal factors linking HIV and stimulant use. - Gap in the literature: scarce of longitudinal cohort studies, lack of focus on minorities, controlling for polydrug use, self-reported data, few studies from LMIC. |
