该项目将比较一种创新方法的效果 处理未接受治疗的静脉吸毒者(IVDU) 疾病控制标准中心(CDC)协议。将会有随机的 将静脉注射吸毒器分配给两种不同的情况。被依赖的人 人类免疫缺陷高危行为的变量将发生变化 病毒(HIV)感染和进入药物治疗的倾向。这 该项目还将为潜在的性伴侣举办“安全网”派对 静脉注射吸毒者。我们将制定与文化相关的材料和程序 帮助阿拉斯加原住民学会与他们的性别谈判 关于使用避孕套和更安全的性行为的问题。这 项目将估计安克雷奇静脉注射吸毒者的人口规模 阿拉斯加通过使用多个重新捕获模式。我们还将 估计不在中国的静脉注射吸毒者中HIV血清阳性的流行率 在阿拉斯加的安克雷奇接受治疗。

This project will compare the effect of an innovative approach to dealing with intravenous drug users (IVDUs) not in treatment to the standard Center for Disease Control (CDC) protocol. There will be random assignment of IVDUs to the two different conditions. The dependent variables will be change in high risk behavior for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, and propensity to enter drug treatment. This project will also conduct "Safety-Net" parties for potential sex partners of IVDUs. We will develop culturally-relevant materials and procedures for assisting Alaskan Natives to learn to negotiate with their sex partners concerning issues of condom use and safer sex practices. This project will estimate the size of the population of IVDUs in Anchorage Alaska through the use of multiple recapture models. We will also estimate the prevalence of HIV seropositivity among IVDUs not in treatment in Anchorage Alaska.
