Vulnerable populations, including people who inject drugs and female sex workers, are susceptible to infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C. Preventing the transmission of these infections presents major challenges. The proposed research will 1) develop innovative approaches to identifying and understanding infectious disease in vulnerable populations; 2) improve our responses by designing and testing new approaches to prevention; and 3) reduce associated morbidity and mortality.

包括注射毒品者和女性性工作者在内的弱势群体易感染艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎等传染病。预防这些感染的传播是一项重大挑战。拟议的研究将：1）开发创新方法，以识别和了解脆弱人群中的传染病; 2）通过设计和测试新的预防方法来改善我们的应对措施; 3）降低相关的发病率和死亡率。
