Intravenous drug use is the single largest exposure category among women with AIDS in the United States (51%). Tragically, there may be insufficient appreciation of the issues unique to IV drug usage among women. Few drug treatment programs are specifically designed for women, and fewer still are aimed at HIV positive women. Treatment models relevant to women in light of the AIDS epidemic should: include changes in admission criteria and treatment methods; provide comprehensive services (including parenting and employment skills workshops and access to health care); and incorporate research and evaluation components with planned dissemination of results.
静脉注射吸毒是美国感染艾滋病女性中最大的单一暴露类别(占51%)。可悲的是,人们可能对女性静脉注射吸毒所特有的问题认识不足。很少有戒毒治疗项目是专门为女性设计的,针对艾滋病毒呈阳性女性的项目就更少了。鉴于艾滋病流行情况,适合女性的治疗模式应包括:改变入院标准和治疗方法;提供全面服务(包括育儿和就业技能培训以及获得医疗保健的机会);并纳入研究和评估内容以及计划好的结果传播。
