We estimated the prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV infections among injecting and noninjecting drug users treated within public drug-treatment centres in Italy to determine the correlates of infection. In the sample of 1330 drug users, the prevalence of HIV was 14.4% among drug injectors and 1.6% among non-injectors; the prevalence of HBV was 70.4% among injecting drug users and 22.8% among non-injectors and of HCV was 83.2% among injecting drug users and 22.0% among non-injectors. Old age, unemployment, and intravenous drug use were significantly correlated with each of the infections, as well as a longer history of injecting drug use. The results indicate that these infections continue to circulate among drug users, highlighting the need for monitoring of this group in Italy.
我们估计了在意大利公共戒毒中心接受治疗的注射和非注射吸毒者中 HIV、HBV 和 HCV 感染的流行率,以确定感染的相关因素。在 1330 名吸毒者样本中,注射吸毒者的 HIV 感染率为 14.4%,而非注射吸毒者为 1.6%;注射吸毒者的 HBV 感染率为 70.4%,而非注射吸毒者为 22.8%;注射吸毒者的 HCV 感染率为 83.2%,而非注射吸毒者为 22.0%。年龄较大、失业和静脉注射毒品与每种感染都有显著相关性,而且与更长时间的注射毒品使用史也有相关性。结果表明,这些感染继续在吸毒者中传播,突出表明需要在意大利对这一群体进行监测。
