确定药房工作人员对药房内HIV检测的支持以及与药房内HIV检测支持相关的个人水平特征。描述性、非实验性、横断面研究。2008年1月至2009年3月期间的纽约市。在扩大注射器获取计划(ESAP)中注册的131家药店完成了一项调查。药店员工480人,包括药剂师、业主/经理、技术人员/办事员。支持药房内艾滋病毒检测。药房工作人员对药房内艾滋病毒检测的支持度很高(79.4%)。支持在药房接种疫苗的药房工作人员更有可能支持在药房进行艾滋病毒检测。认为向注射吸毒者出售注射器会导致社区充斥着肮脏的注射器的药房工作人员明显不太可能支持药房内的艾滋病毒检测。在我们积极参与非处方注射器销售的ESAP药房工作人员样本中,对药房内艾滋病毒检测的支持度很高。这些发现表明,活跃的ESAP药房工作人员可能有能力为注射吸毒者提供艾滋病毒咨询和检测,值得进一步调查。
To determine support of in-pharmacy HIV-testing among pharmacy staff and the individual-level characteristics associated with in-pharmacy HIV testing support. Descriptive, nonexperimental, cross-sectional study. New York City (NYC) during January 2008 to March 2009. 131 pharmacies registered in the Expanded Syringe Access Program (ESAP) completed a survey. 480 pharmacy staff, including pharmacists, owners/managers, and technicians/clerks. Support of in-pharmacy HIV testing. Support of in-pharmacy HIV testing is high among pharmacy staff (79.4%). Pharmacy staff that supported in-pharmacy vaccinations were significantly more likely to support in-pharmacy HIV testing. Pharmacy staff that think that selling syringes to IDUs causes the community to be littered with dirty syringes were significantly less likely to support in-pharmacy HIV testing. Support for in-pharmacy HIV testing is high among our sample of ESAP pharmacy staff actively involved in non-prescription syringe sales. These findings suggest that active ESAP pharmacy staff may be amenable to providing HIV counseling and testing to injection drug users and warrants further investigation.
