虽然有关于农村人口感染艾滋病毒的性风险的文献，兴奋剂在增加这些风险方面的具体作用主要是在单一药物和/或本研究探讨了北卡罗来纳州农村地区不同种族和性别认同的个体使用多种兴奋剂和性风险行为的情况。2004年6月至2005年12月期间，北卡罗来纳州各县。对访谈进行了录音、转录和准确性审查。经过编辑的访谈被导入到Atlas.ti和askSam进行分析。调查结果与大麻一起，兴奋剂-包括可卡因粉末，快克和甲基苯丙胺-是这些县最常用的非法药物。粉末可卡因的使用与白色参与者更密切相关，快克与非裔美国人更密切相关，女性参与者更常使用这两种药物。参与者报告了3种可能与艾滋病毒感染风险增加有关的涉及兴奋剂使用的重叠行为：在使用药物时进行性行为，性交易和群体性行为。近一半的参与者报告从事群体性活动。ConclusionsHIV风险通过注射似乎是低的，在这些农村县。然而，几乎所有的研究参与者都报告了某种形式的性风险行为，这可能会增加艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染的传播。进一步的研究是必要的，重点是药物滥用和危险性行为之间的联系。
ContextWhile literature exists on sexual risks for HIV among rural populations, the specific role of stimulants in increasing these risks has primarily been studied in the context of a single drug and/or racial group.PurposeThis study explores the use of multiple stimulants and sexual risk behaviors among individuals of different races and sexual identities in rural North Carolina.MethodsIn‐depth interviews were conducted with 41 individuals in 3 rural North Carolina counties between June 2004 and December 2005. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and reviewed for accuracy. Edited interviews were imported into Atlas.ti and askSam for analysis.FindingsAlong with marijuana, stimulants—including powder cocaine, crack, and methamphetamine—were the most frequently used illicit drugs in these counties. Powder cocaine use was more closely associated with white participants, crack with African Americans, and both were more commonly used by female participants. Participants reported 3 overlapping behaviors involving stimulant use that may be associated with increased risk of HIV infection: engaging in sex while using drugs, sex trading and group sex. Nearly half of participants reported engaging in group sex activity.ConclusionsHIV risk through injection appears to be low in these rural counties. However, nearly all study participants reported some form of sexual risk behavior that may increase transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Further research is warranted focusing on the nexus between substance abuse and risky sexual behaviors.
