A sample of 222 methadone maintenance clients were interviewed regarding current injecting and needle risk-taking in order to ascertain factors associated with these behaviours. Just over half (55%) of subjects had injected in the month preceding interview. Current injecting was associated with being female, having a regular sexual partner who was a current injecting drug user, polydrug use and higher levels of global psychopathology. Approximately 15% of subjects had shared needles in the month preceding interview, predominantly with one other person. Needle sharing was associated with having a regular sexual partner who was a current injecting drug user, current criminality and injecting at places other than home. Needle-sharing episodes in the study period were considered safe by practically all sharers. The implications of these findings are discussed.
对222名美沙酮维持治疗患者进行了访谈，询问他们当前的注射情况和针头风险行为，以确定与这些行为相关的因素。略多于一半（55%）的受试者在访谈前一个月内有过注射行为。当前的注射行为与女性、有一个当前正在注射毒品的固定性伴侣、多药滥用以及较高水平的整体精神病理学有关。约15%的受试者在访谈前一个月内有过共用针头的行为，主要是与另外一人。共用针头与有一个当前正在注射毒品的固定性伴侣、当前的犯罪行为以及在家庭以外的地方注射有关。在研究期间，几乎所有共用针头者都认为共用针头的行为是安全的。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
