辅助注射在注射吸毒者（IDUs）中仍未得到充分研究。我们在墨西哥提华纳采用受访者驱动的抽样方法招募了1,056名注射吸毒者。参与者接受了艾滋病毒和梅毒检测以及结构化访谈。四分之一（25%）在过去6个月内寻求注射协助。寻求注射协助与以下因素独立相关：女性（调整优势比[AOR] = 2.59； 95%可信区间[CI] = 1.73-3.90）、出生在下加利福尼亚州以外地区（AOR = 1.75; CI = 1.26-2.42）、近期出现脓液（AOR = 2.59; CI = 1.93-3.47）、过去6个月内使用过他人使用过的注射器（AOR = 1.99; CI = 1.45-2.71）、曾因携带无菌注射器而被捕（AOR = 1.55; CI = 1.15-2.09）。[Am J Addict] 2010;00:1-7]。
Assisted injection among injection drug users (IDUs) remains understudied. We recruited 1,056 IDUs using respondent-driven sampling in Tijuana, Mexico. Participants underwent HIV and syphilis testing and structured interviews. One-quarter (25%) sought injection assistance in the past 6 months. Seeking injection assistance was independently associated with being female (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.59; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.73-3.90), being born outside Baja California (AOR = 1.75; CI = 1.26-2.42), having recent abscesses (AOR = 2.59; CI = 1.93-3.47), using syringes previously used by others in the past 6 months (AOR = 1.99; CI = 1.45-2.71), and ever being arrested for carrying sterile syringes (AOR = 1.55; CI = 1.15-2.09).
