预防艾滋病毒高风险吸毒环境研究旨在增加对吸毒城市社会环境的了解。在本文中，我们使用人种学方法重点关注康涅狄格州哈特福德市有看门人的私人场所的吸毒环境的一种亚型。我们分析使用这些网站的吸毒者的社会互动，以探索有时促进有时阻碍的矛盾的社会过程？干预努力。看门人通常有兴趣吸引顾客参与他们的“业务”，因此可能愿意提供持续的现场艾滋病毒预防教育和材料。另一方面，剥削性的商业交换与互惠的理想相矛盾，并可能破坏看门人和吸毒者之间的信任，从而阻碍减少危害的努力。此外，作为吸毒场所的看门人往往会加速看门人的成瘾，使他们难以实施减少危害的策略。
The Study of High Risk Drug Use Settings for HIV Prevention was designed to increase knowledge of urban social contexts in which drugs are consumed. In this article, we use ethnographic methods to focus on one subtype of drug use setting in Hartford, Connecticut, private sites with gatekeepers. We analyze the social interactions of drug users who use these sites to explore the contradictory social processes that sometimes facilitate and at other times impede? intervention efforts. Gatekeepers are often interested in attracting customers to their "business" and therefore may be willing to provide ongoing site-based HIV prevention education and materials. On the other hand, exploitative business exchanges contradict ideals of reciprocity and may undermine trust between gatekeepers and drug users impeding harm reduction efforts. Further, being the gatekeeper of a drug use site often accelerates gatekeepers' addictions, making, it difficult for them to implement harm reduction strategies.
