The intravenous drug use behaviour and HIV risk reduction strategies used by a group of Scottish inmates prior to prison, during imprisonment and as expected after release was investigated. From a sample of 559 inmates (480 males and 79 females) 27.5% were involved in IVDU prior to imprisonment, 7.7% on at least one occasion during a period of imprisonment and 14.7% expected to do so after release. Prior to imprisonment 17.3% had shared needles, 5.7% at some time during imprisonment and 4.3% expected to do so after release. Some form of HIV risk reduction strategies were practised by the majority of IVDU inmates prior to imprisonment, during imprisonment and were expected to continue after release. The most at risk inmates were those who continued to share injecting equipment without reduction and without sterilizing. The reduction in IVDU and needle sharing during imprisonment in comparison to prior to imprisonment was paralleled by a self-perceived reduction of personal risk from HIV during imprisonment.
对一群苏格兰囚犯入狱前、入狱期间以及预期出狱后的静脉注射吸毒行为和降低艾滋病毒风险策略进行了调查。在559名囚犯（480名男性和79名女性）的样本中，27.5%在入狱前参与过静脉注射吸毒，7.7%在入狱期间至少有过一次，14.7%预期出狱后会这样做。入狱前17.3%曾共用过针头，入狱期间某个时候为5.7%，预期出狱后为4.3%。大多数静脉注射吸毒囚犯在入狱前、入狱期间都采取了某种形式的降低艾滋病毒风险策略，并且预期出狱后会继续这样做。风险最高的囚犯是那些继续无节制且不消毒地共用注射设备的人。与入狱前相比，入狱期间静脉注射吸毒和共用针头行为的减少，同时伴随着囚犯自我感觉的个人感染艾滋病毒风险的降低。
