本研究的目的是调查印度接受药物滥用治疗的男性中艾滋病毒风险的流行率和相关性。在印度南部的主要药物滥用医院进行了筛选，使用结构化的采访和标准化的措施，以获得人口统计学，精神病学，性行为和物质使用的数据在入院时的concentive住院患者。在接受筛查的352名男性中，77%的人报告说他们在过去一年中性活跃，13%的人报告说他们从事了与更大风险相关的性行为。在过去一年中，最常见的风险行为包括有多个性伴侣（7%），付费性行为（5%）和无保护的肛交（4%）。从事危险的性行为与同时发生的精神疾病和药物滥用筛选措施的较高分数有关。评估药物滥用环境中的艾滋病毒风险有助于确定可能从艾滋病毒风险降低计划中受益的患者。
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and correlates of HIV risk among men receiving treatment for substance abuse in India. Consecutive inpatients from the major substance abuse hospital in southern India were screened using a structured interview and standardized measures to obtain demographic, psychiatric, sexual behavior, and substance use data at the time of admission. Seventy-seven percent of the 352 men who were screened reported that they were sexually active during the past year, and 13% reported that they had engaged in sexual practices associated with greater risk. The most common risk practices in the past year included having multiple sexual partners (7%), paying for sex (5%), and having unprotected anal sex (4%). Engaging in risky sexual practices was associated with the presence of a co-occurring psychiatric disorder and higher scores on a drug abuse screening measure. Assessing HIV risk in substance abuse settings can help to identify patients who may benefit from HIV-risk reduction programs.
