Injection drug use (IDU) has been a route for HIV transmission since the beginning of the epidemic. This review focuses on an apparent decrease in the proportion of IDU-related HIV/AIDS in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island from 1999 to the present. Although there are differences in HIV/AIDS reporting requirements among these states, the dramatic reduction in the proportion of HIV and AIDS cases related to IDU is notable and is comparable to the 42% decline in HIV diagnoses among injection drug users reported by the CDC in other areas of the country.
自艾滋病流行初期以来,注射吸毒一直是艾滋病毒传播的一条途径。本综述聚焦于1999年至今马萨诸塞州、纽约州、康涅狄格州和罗德岛州与注射吸毒相关的艾滋病毒/艾滋病比例的明显下降。尽管这些州在艾滋病毒/艾滋病报告要求方面存在差异,但与注射吸毒相关的艾滋病毒和艾滋病病例比例的大幅下降值得关注,并且与疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)报告的该国其他地区注射吸毒者中艾滋病毒诊断率42%的下降相当。
