商业性工作，药物使用，性传播感染（STI）在俄罗斯圣彼得堡彼得堡之间的关系进行了评估，使用定性研究方法和现有的研究，监测和流行病学数据的检查。快速评估方法包括对关键信息提供者进行深入的定性访谈，对商业性工作和吸毒场所进行自然观察，绘制地理图，以及对现有监测、流行病学和社会学数据进行严格审查。介绍了彼得堡的商业性工作和毒品使用模式。现有的监测数据将感染归因于注射毒品，而不是任何其他风险类别。然而，对临床和流行病学数据的审查表明，艾滋病毒感染在通过性传播感染艾滋病毒的群体中可能增长最快。需要对未纳入监测算法的人群，如商业性工作者、街头青年和无家可归者进行有针对性的性传播感染和艾滋病毒发病率筛查研究。性史采取，以更好地描述比例的情况下，导致男性伴侣之间的性行为也将是有帮助的。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
The relationships between commercial sex work, drug use, and sexually transmitted infections (STI) in St. Petersburg, Russia were assessed using qualitative research methods and an examination of existing research, surveillance and epidemiology data. The rapid assessment methodology included in-depth qualitative interviews with key informants, naturalistic observations of commercial sex work and drug use sites, geo-mapping, and a critical review of the available surveillance, epidemiology, and sociological data. Patterns of commercial sex work and drug use in St. Petersburg are described. The existing surveillance data attributes infections to injected drug use over and above any other risk category. However, examination of the clinic and epidemiology data suggests that HIV infection may be increasing fastest among groups that are acquiring HIV through sexual transmission. Targeted screening studies of STI and HIV morbidity among populations that are not included in the surveillance algorithm are needed, such as commercial sex workers, street youth, and the homeless. Sexual history taking to better characterize the proportion of cases that result from sex between male partners would also be helpful. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
