Vancouver has experienced an explosive HIV epidemic despite the presence of a needle exchange programme (NEP). We sought possible explanations for high-risk syringe sharing among Vancouver injection drug users over the period January 1999 to October 2000. Overall, 14% of participants reported high-risk sharing. Although acquiring needles exclusively from the NEP was independently associated with less sharing, we identified several risk factors for persistent sharing, including difficulty accessing sterile needles, bingeing, and frequent cocaine injection.
尽管有针头交换计划（NEP），温哥华仍经历了艾滋病病毒的爆发式流行。我们试图寻找1999年1月至2000年10月期间温哥华注射吸毒者中高风险共用注射器的可能原因。总体而言，14%的参与者报告有高风险共用行为。虽然仅从针头交换计划获取针头与较少的共用行为独立相关，但我们确定了持续共用的几个风险因素，包括获取无菌针头困难、暴饮暴食和频繁注射可卡因。
