A sample of 301 regular amphetamine users were interviewed regarding injecting and sexual risk-taking behaviours. Two-thirds of subjects were injecting the drug, with males being 1.8 times more likely to do so. Nearly half (41%) of injectors had shared injecting equipment in the preceding month. Females were twice as likely as males to report recent needle sharing. Having a regular sexual partner who injects amphetamines, using benzodiazepines and experiencing higher levels of psychopathology were independently associated with needle sharing. The number of sexual partners in the preceding six months was independently associated with having had paid sex in that period, and higher levels of polydrug use.
对301名常规使用苯丙胺的使用者进行了关于注射和性行为冒险行为的访谈。三分之二的受试者注射该药物,男性注射的可能性是女性的1.8倍。近一半(41%)的注射者在过去一个月内曾共用过注射器具。报告近期共用针头的女性人数是男性的两倍。有一个常规注射苯丙胺的性伴侣、使用苯二氮䓬类药物以及存在较高水平的精神病理学问题均与共用针头独立相关。过去六个月中的性伴侣数量与同期的有偿性行为以及更高水平的多种药物使用独立相关。
