To describe recent research done primarily during the past 12 months (i.e., primarily in 2008) on the epidemiology of HIV infection among injecting drug users (IDUs).
Major research developments include a global assessment of HIV infection among IDUs and evidence of a transition from epidemics concentrated among IDUs to generalized, heterosexual epidemics in eastern Europe and Asia. Intervention research also includes several studies of supervised-injecting facilities. Methodological research includes respondent-driven sampling and the use of hepatitis C virus and herpes simplex virus-2 as biomarkers for injecting and sexual risk.
There have been important advances in research during the past year, but HIV infection continues to spread rapidly across many areas of the world among IDUs and their nondrug-using sex partners.
描述主要在过去12个月(即2008年)期间开展的关于注射吸毒者(IDU)中HIV感染流行病学的最新研究。
主要研究进展包括对注射吸毒者中HIV感染的全球评估,以及在东欧和亚洲存在从集中于注射吸毒者的流行向广泛的异性传播流行转变的证据。干预研究还包括多项关于受监管注射设施的研究。方法学研究包括应答者驱动抽样以及使用丙型肝炎病毒和单纯疱疹病毒2型作为注射和性传播风险的生物标志物。
过去一年研究取得了重要进展,但HIV感染在世界许多地区仍在注射吸毒者及其非吸毒性伴侣中迅速传播。
