摘要：在瑞典南部的一个小大学城，作为艾滋病毒预防项目的一部分，过去三年来一直向注射毒品使用者提供注射器和针头的交换。979名吸毒者参观了当地医院的方案，其中182人经常参加。典型的参与者是一名30岁的男性，他注射安非他明或海洛因至少10年。瑞典南部吸毒者的艾滋病毒血清阳性率一直维持在约1%，而其他斯堪的纳维亚地区有类似毒品问题的亚群的艾滋病毒血清阳性率高达60%。在研究期间，没有项目参与者感染艾滋病毒，并注意到当地药物注射者的危险行为减少。艾滋病毒预防项目吸引了许多以前没有接触过戒毒方案的人;对于一些吸毒者来说，注射器交换是这种治疗工作的入门。
Summary:Exchange of syringes and needles has for the last 3 years been offered to injecting drug users as part of an HIV prevention project in a small university town in south Sweden. The program at the local hospital has been visited by 979 drug users, of which 182 have participated on a more regular basis. The typical participant is a 30-year-old male who has injected amphetamine or heroin for at least 10 years. The seroprevalence for HIV among drug users in south Sweden has been maintained at approximately 1% in contrast to up to 60% in subpopulations from other Scandinavian regions with a comparable drug problem. No project participant has become HIV infected during the study period and a reduction in risk behavior has been noted among local drug injectors. The HIV prevention project has attracted many individuals with no previous contact with drug rehabilitation programs; for a number of drug users, the syringe exchange has served as an introduction to such treatment efforts.
