吸毒者通过注射吸毒或危险的性行为传播艾滋病毒和其他血液传播病毒感染的风险可能增加。目前的研究旨在调查澳大利亚经常吸食摇头丸的哨兵群体中的BBVI危险行为，重点是性行为，并描述这一群体中BBVI测试的发生情况。参与者是2007年在澳大利亚招募的经常服用摇头丸的人，他们接受了一次有组织的访谈，其中包含关于药物使用、性行为和BBVI检测发生情况的问题。结果表明，在过去的6个月中，无保护措施的性行为水平很高(77%的人报告与正式伴侣不一致地使用避孕套；54%的人报告与临时伴侣不一致)。一半的样本报告说从未进行过艾滋病毒检测。无保护措施的性行为与异性恋有关；尽管如此，异性恋者也不太可能报告艾滋病毒检测状态。这些数据表明，这一群体可能需要有针对性的健康促进信息，这些人主要是年轻人，异性恋药物使用者，他们可能超出了传统信息的范围。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Substance users may be at a heightened risk for the transmission of HIV and other blood-borne viral infections (BBVI) through injecting drug use or risky sexual behaviours. The current study aimed to investigate the engagement in BBVI-risk behaviours among a sentinel group of regular ecstasy users in Australia, with a particular focus on sexual practices and describe the occurrence of BBVI testing among this group. Participants were regular ecstasy users recruited across Australia in 2007 who were administered a structured interview that contained questions regarding substance use, sexual behaviours and occurrence of BBVI testing. Results indicate high levels of unprotected sex in the past 6 months (77% reported inconsistent condom use with a regular partner; 54% with a casual partner). Half the sample reported never having an HIV test. Unprotected sex was associated with being heterosexual; despite this, heterosexuals were also less likely to report HIV testing status. These data suggest that targeted health promotion messages may be needed for this group of predominantly young, heterosexual substance users who may fall out of the reach of traditional messages.
