以往的研究表明，静脉吸毒者（IVDUs）的吸毒风险降低了很多，但性风险降低较少。本文介绍了纽约市街头招募的静脉吸毒者降低性风险的研究结果，并探讨了性风险降低的预测因素。在这些街头招募的静脉注射吸毒者中，有61%的人主动主动减少性风险，以避免艾滋病。对于总样本（n = 568），以及男性静脉吸毒者，具体的健康信念和社会影响因素是显着的性风险降低的预测因子。对于女性静脉吸毒者，药物风险降低，有一个朋友或熟人谁的做法降低性风险，并希望有一个（另一个）孩子的性风险降低的显着预测。这些研究结果表明，社会支持和社区组织的重要性，以促进减少风险。
Previous studies have reported that intravenous drug users (IVDUs) have made considerable drug-use risk reduction, but less sexual risk reduction. This paper presents findings about sexual risk reduction by street-recruited IVDUs in New York City, and examines the predictors of sexual risk reduction. Sixty-one per cent of these street-recruited IVDUs have initiated deliberate sexual risk reduction in order to avoid AIDS. For the total sample (n = 568), as well as for the male IVDUs, specific health belief and social influence factors were significant predictors of sexual risk reduction. For female IVDUs, drug-risk reduction, having a friend or acquaintance who practices sexual risk reduction, and wanting to have a(nother) child were significant predictors of sexual risk reduction. These findings suggest the importance of social support and community organization to promote risk reduction.
