In the United States, 10% of HIV infections diagnosed in 2018 were attributed to unsafe injection drug use or male-to-male sexual contact among persons who inject drugs (PWID) (1). In 2017, among PWID or men who have sex with men and who inject drugs (MSM-ID), 76% of those who received a diagnosis of HIV infection lived in urban areas* (2). To monitor the prevalence of HIV infection and associated behaviors among persons who reported injecting drugs in the past 12 months, including MSM-ID, CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) conducts interviews and HIV testing among populations of persons at high risk for HIV infection (MSM, PWID, and heterosexually active adults at increased risk for HIV infection) in selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) (3). The estimated HIV infection prevalence among PWID in 23 MSAs surveyed in 2018 was 7%. Among HIV-negative PWID, an estimated 26% receptively shared syringes and 68% had condomless vaginal sex during the preceding 12 months. During the same period, 57% had been tested for HIV infection, and 55% received syringes from a syringe services program (SSP). While overall SSP use did not significantly change since 2015, a substantial decrease in SSP use occurred among Black PWID, and HIV prevalence among Black PWID was higher than that among Hispanic and White PWID. These findings underscore the importance of continuing and expanding HIV prevention programs and community-based strategies for PWID, such as those provided by SSPs, especially following service disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic (4). Efforts are needed to ensure that PWID have low-barrier access to comprehensive and integrated needs-based SSPs (where legally permissible) that include provision of sterile syringes and safe syringe disposal, HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and referrals to HIV and HCV treatment, HIV preexposure prophylaxis, and treatment for substance use and mental health disorders.
在美国,2018 年诊断出的 10%的 HIV 感染病例归因于注射吸毒者(PWID)中的不安全注射药物使用或男男性接触(1)。2017 年,在注射吸毒者或与男性发生性关系且注射毒品的男性(MSM-ID)中,76%的 HIV 感染诊断病例居住在城市地区*(2)。为了监测过去 12 个月内报告注射吸毒的人群中 HIV 感染的流行率和相关行为,包括 MSM-ID,CDC 的国家 HIV 行为监测(NHBS)在选定的大都市统计区(MSA)(3)对高危人群进行访谈和 HIV 检测,包括男男性接触者、PWID 和异性恋且感染 HIV 风险增加的成年人。2018 年在 23 个调查的 MSA 中,PWID 的估计 HIV 感染流行率为 7%。在 HIV 阴性的 PWID 中,估计有 26%的人接受过共用注射器,68%的人在过去 12 个月内发生过无保护的阴道性行为。在此期间,57%的人接受过 HIV 感染检测,55%的人从注射器服务项目(SSP)获得过注射器。虽然自 2015 年以来,SSP 的总体使用率没有显著变化,但黑人 PWID 的 SSP 使用率大幅下降,黑人 PWID 的 HIV 感染率高于西班牙裔和白人 PWID。这些发现强调了继续和扩大针对 PWID 的 HIV 预防计划和以社区为基础的战略的重要性,例如 SSP 提供的战略,尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行造成服务中断之后(4)。需要努力确保 PWID 能够以低门槛获得全面和综合的基于需求的 SSP(在法律允许的情况下),包括提供无菌注射器和安全的注射器处理、HIV 和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)检测以及转介到 HIV 和 HCV 治疗、HIV 暴露前预防和治疗物质使用和精神健康障碍。
