Sterile syringe access is an important means to reduce HIV risk, but many injection drug users (IDU) who obtain syringes from sterile sources continue to share syringes. We examined the factors associated with continuing syringe sharing in New York City. We recruited 500 active IDU in 2005 through respondent-driven sampling. In multiple logistic regression, not obtaining all syringes in the past year exclusively from sterile sources was associated with increased syringe sharing. Ensuring adequate syringe availability as well as engaging and retaining nonusers and inconsistent users in sterile syringe services may increase sterile syringe access and decrease syringe sharing.
无菌注射器的获得是降低 HIV 风险的重要手段，但许多从无菌来源获得注射器的注射吸毒者（IDU）仍继续共用注射器。我们调查了与纽约市继续共用注射器有关的因素。我们于 2005 年通过应答者驱动抽样招募了 500 名活跃的 IDU。在多因素逻辑回归中，过去一年未能全部从无菌来源获得注射器与增加注射器共享有关。确保充足的注射器供应，以及使非使用者和不规律使用者参与并继续使用无菌注射器服务，可能会增加无菌注射器的获得，并减少注射器的共享。
