A community-based HIV intervention for African-American women who are active injection drug users (IDUs) was evaluated. Seventy-one women (aged 20-54 years) were randomly assigned to one of two enhanced gender- and culturally specific intervention conditions or to the NIDA standard condition. Substantial decreases (p<.001) were found in the frequency of drug use and the frequency of drug injection as well as in the sharing of injection works or water and the number of injections. Trading sex for drugs or money, having sex while high, as well as other sexual risk behaviors were also reduced significantly. Furthermore, women in both enhanced intervention conditions were more likely to reduce their drug-using and sexual risk behaviors than were women in the standard condition. Results indicate the value of including additional components in interventions designed to reduce the risk of infection with HIV among women who inject drugs.
对一项针对活跃注射吸毒者（IDU）的非裔美国女性的社区艾滋病毒干预措施进行了评估。71名年龄在20至54岁之间的女性被随机分配到两种强化的针对性别和文化的干预条件之一或国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA）的标准条件下。结果发现，吸毒频率、注射频率以及注射器具或水的共用情况和注射次数都大幅下降（p<0.001）。以性交易换取毒品或金钱、吸毒时发生性行为以及其他性风险行为也显著减少。此外，与处于标准条件下的女性相比，处于两种强化干预条件下的女性更有可能减少其吸毒和性风险行为。结果表明，在旨在降低注射毒品女性感染艾滋病毒风险的干预措施中纳入其他组成部分具有重要价值。
