年轻的注射吸毒者(IDU)既有感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的风险，也有感染丙型肝炎(HCV)的风险。艾滋病毒检测率已被广泛记录，但有关丙型肝炎病毒筛查率的信息有限。在罗德岛86名年龄在18-25岁的注射吸毒者的社区样本中，87.2%的人报告过艾滋病毒检测，而丙型肝炎病毒检测的比例为51.2%(p&lt；.001)。年轻的注射者对丙型肝炎病毒的筛查不足，而艾滋病毒感染的流行率要低得多。
Young injection drug users (IDU) are at risk for both human immunonodeficiency virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C infections (HCV). Rates of HIV testing have been widely documented, but limited information exists regarding HCV screening rates. Among a community sample of 86 IDUs, aged 18–25 years in Rhode Island, 87.2% reported ever testing for HIV versus 51.2% for HCV (p < .001). Young injectors were under-screened for HCV compared with the far less prevalent HIV infection.
