来自美国和墨西哥的注射毒品使用者在墨西哥蒂华纳购买性服务，有通过共用注射器将艾滋病毒传播给两国接触者的风险。我们使用社交网络方法来了解居住地（美国与墨西哥）是否会调节情感亲密度对注射器共享的影响。我们采访了199名吸毒男子谁报告支付/性交易在蒂华纳，墨西哥使用流行病学和社会网络调查，并收集样本进行艾滋病毒/性传播感染检测。72名男子报告与272名网络联系人使用注射毒品。情感亲密度与注射器共享的合作伙伴生活在美国的关系，而情感亲密度和注射器共享之间的关系是相当不强的伴侣生活在墨西哥的二人组。需要努力减少情感亲密关系中的艾滋病毒风险行为，并可以从关系的环境背景中受益。
Injection drug-using men from the US and Mexico who purchase sex in Tijuana, Mexico are at risk for transmitting HIV to their contacts in both countries via syringe sharing. We used social network methods to understand whether place of residence (US vs. Mexico) moderated the effect of emotional closeness on syringe sharing. We interviewed 199 drug-using men who reported paying/trading for sex in Tijuana, Mexico using an epidemiological and social network survey and collected samples for HIV/STI testing. Seventy-two men reported using injection drugs with 272 network contacts. Emotional closeness was strongly associated with syringe sharing in relationship where the partner lives in the US, while the relationship between emotional closeness and syringe sharing was considerably less strong in dyads where the partner lives in Mexico. Efforts to reduce HIV risk behaviors in emotionally close relationships are needed, and could benefit from tailoring to the environmental context of the relationship.
